The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, breakin' down Blue Bay.

For a stretch, it's been a dirge. Most of this first part of the run is just junk. Tuesday afternoon with that 3ft swell from the ENE and a cross-off wind felt flat and ordinary. We're lookin' at a solid four or five days of small, choppy waves before this place turns on.

The first real jewel shows up on Friday morning, the 28th. We've got a 5ft south swell, with a solid 11-second pulse. And get this – the wind's gonna be glassy. Dead flat. That's a recipe for perfection. The wave energy is pumping (703). If you can paddle out that morning, that's the day. Come Friday afternoon the onshore wind screws it, so it's a dawn patrol special.

Saturday morning, the 29th, is another good look. The swell settles a touch to 5ft, still from the SSE, with that long 11-second period. The energy is even higher (875), and we’ve got clean, cross-off winds. It’s gonna be a powerful, well-shaped session. The water’s sitting about 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

There's a lull then, but Monday morning, the 31st of August, is another glassy dawn. A 4ft south swell, 10-second period, and strong energy (717). Another quality clean-skin session.

After that, it gets sketchy again through early September. The 5th and 6th offer some marginal, onshore-chopped waves. The second week sees a few pulses of swell but the wind starts howling. The morning of the 8th of September has some size, but that strong offshore wind makes it a battle.

So for the whole run, Blue Bay has a couple of absolute winners. The standout is Friday the 28th – that glassy, 5ft, 11-second groundswell is the one. Saturday the 29th and Monday the 31st are also real solid. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, so you gotta get out early for those windows.

Rusty, out.

Information about the Blue Bay Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Blue Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Blue Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Blue Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Blue Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Blue Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
