The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, talking about the same stretch of water. This reef break, Blue Holes, is consistent, but the wind is going to be the story for most of these 16 days.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some solid waves— 8 ft to 8 ft from the WSW, with a 14 to 15 second period. That’s a nice, powerful groundswell. The combined energy is solid. But the wind is blowing cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. Monday and Tuesday are basically a mess. Wednesday morning (16th) is a slight improvement. The swell drops to 6 ft from the SW, and we get a cross-offshore wind. It cleans up the faces, and the energy is moderate. It’s still a bit of a gamble with the tide, but it’s the first clean look of the run.
Then we hit a dead spot from Thursday afternoon through Friday. The swell gets smaller, and on Friday the wind goes crazy. A 7 ft swell shows up but with a short, weak 7 second period, plus a strong cross-onshore wind at 28 mph. It’s a total mess.
Now, listen up. Saturday the 19th of September is the one for the big dogs. The morning delivers a 10 ft swell from the WSW with a very long 15 second period. That’s over 3600 units of energy. The wind is cross-onshore, so not perfect, but the forecast says the conditions are favorable. That 10 ft wave is going to be an absolute beast. If you aren’t a strong, experienced surfer, stay on the sand for this one.
The real sweet spot hits on Sunday the 20th. The swell drops to a friendly 6 ft from the WSW, still with a good 13 second period. The energy is moderate. But the wind switches to a light 3 mph breeze from the ESE—almost glassy. The waves will be clean and lined up. That’s the best session of the whole forecast for the average surfer.
Looking into the second week, the swell hangs around, with energy picking up again, but the wind stays onshore for most of it. We get another clean window on Wednesday the 24th of September morning. A 6 ft swell from the WSW with a 16 second period, and the wind goes offshore from the ENE at 12 mph. It’s clean and powerful—another good one for the experienced crew. The swell builds to 8 ft that afternoon, but the wind spoils it. The last few days are mostly blown out or just too big for a clean ride.
So, bottom line: The first week is windy. Experts, mark your calendar for Saturday the 19th for the heavy stuff. Everyone else, Sunday the 20th is the one to surf. The second week offers one more clean shot on Wednesday the 24th morning before it all gets messy again.
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.
