The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, there's no surf to get excited about until Sunday the 2nd of August, and even then, it's a bit of a tease. The real action, and I mean *real* action, doesn't kick off until Thursday the 6th. We've got a solid run of swell heading our way, but the first week is all about timing and tide windows.
Our main spot is Blue Holes, a consistent reef break that loves a good SW groundswell. In the mornings, the water's sitting at about 68°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so the wetsuit choice is easy.
Sunday the 2nd is your starter. We've got a clean 8ft SW groundswell rolling in with a light ENE offshore breeze. It's a solid, powerful wave but the ratings suggest it's not quite on, likely a tide issue. Monday and Tuesday look messy with onshore winds, so give them a miss.
Now, Wednesday the 5th morning is a different story. You've got a clean 8ft SW swell with a cross-offshore breeze from the SE. That's your first real window for some clean, lined-up waves.
But hold onto your board. Thursday the 6th is where it gets serious. We're talking a 10ft WSW groundswell – that's some serious energy. However, that's big for this break. The forecast flags it as being too big for the break's configuration, so only experts need apply. The winds are side-on, making it pretty average for paddling.
This big energy continues right through to Sunday the 9th of August, with swells remaining over 10ft. On Friday the 7th we get 8ft with an onshore wind, and on Saturday the 8th it's 12ft with a strong cross-shore. The morning of Sunday the 9th cleans right up with a moderate ENE offshore and an 12ft SW swell – that's an amazing window for big-wave chargers. After that, it drops off.
The second week looks more manageable. From Monday the 10th to Wednesday the 12th, the wind is messy again. The standout windows come on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. Thursday morning offers a clean 7ft SW swell with a light offshore. Friday morning the 14th is the pick of the second week: a clean 6ft SW groundswell with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE. The forecast calls it excellent for experienced surfers. Saturday the 15th is similar with a 6ft WSW swell and offshore wind.
So, to sum it up, for the everyday surfer, Wednesday the 5th morning and Friday the 14th morning are your best bets for clean waves that are powerful but not too scary. For the seasoned big-wave crew, the mornings of Sunday the 9th and Thursday the 6th will have your heart pumping, but you'll need to be on your game.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.

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.
