The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Blue Holes.
Right off the bat, you can see a lot of days with so-so conditions. The first week is a bit of a grind. We’ve got a consistent 5ft to 6ft SW swell running, but the wind is a real pain—mostly cross-off or a stiff breeze, keeping things clean but not exactly glassy. The combined energy is moderate, bouncing around 734 to 1325, so there’s push in the water, but it’s not a standout. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
The real action, the thing that’s got me stoked, is Monday the 27th of July. That morning, the stars align. We’re looking at a solid 7ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy, dead calm. The combined energy rips up to 1641, and with that offshore direction from the NE, the reef at Blue Holes is going to be firing with clean, long lines. This is a proper session for experienced surfers, and the crowds are possible, so get in early.
Then Tuesday the 28th of July morning is almost as good—another 7ft SW swell, this time with a 15-second period, combined energy of 2201, and a light cross-off wind from the ESE. It’s going to be clean and powerful. That’s your second standout; a real meaty groundswell that will have plenty of juice.
Now, after that, the second week gets a bit sketchy. We see a massive spike on Monday the 3rd of August with a 12ft SW swell, 18-second period, and combined energy of 8465 – that’s huge. But the wind is a light offshore in the morning, and the notes say it’s too big for Blue Holes. That’s expert territory only, and honestly, it’s likely to be a washing machine. Tuesday the 5th of August morning looks promising again, with 7ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a solid offshore wind from the E, giving clean conditions for experienced surfers again.
All in all, the first week is a slow burn, but the 27th and 28th of July are the ones to circle on the calendar. The second week has size but also a lot of wind and chop. For the average surfer, the best bet is that Monday and Tuesday.
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.
