The Lowdown
Right, so here we go. The surf is pretty much a write-off for the next week and a half. Swell’s there, but the wind is a constant issue—cross-onshore, lumpy, choppy. You’re looking at a gap of about a week and a half from the start until things get interesting.
The one day that stands out is Wednesday the 30th of September, morning at Blue Holes (United States). This is the pick of the entire run. Solid 2.4m of WSW swell, period of 17 seconds, and the wind goes light cross-offshore. That’s clean, glassy conditions on a reef break with a serious amount of energy—3185 combined. This is for experienced surfers only at that size, but it’s going to be a proper session. Long-period groundswell, offshore breeze, barrels to be had. This is the one.
Before that, the 23rd and 29th mornings have some cross-shore winds and around 2.1m, but there’s a little chop, so it’s still marginal. The 1st of October morning is a similar story—2.0m but cross-onshore, rippled.
The 25th through the 27th is when the swell really jacks up—3.0m to 3.5m—but the wind is howling cross-onshore or just onshore, making it a complete mess. That’s more of a kitesurfing kind of day than a paddle one, especially at a beach setup.
Water temp is 20°C, pretty much average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So yeah, it’s a long wait, but that 30th morning is the reward. A week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but if it holds, it’ll be a day to remember. Everything else is just filler until then.

Information about the Blue Holes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Blue Holes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Blue Holes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Blue Holes 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 Holes) 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 Holes 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.
