The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Blue Pool is a tough one. The only real window of interest is right at the very end, and even then, it’s not a classic. There’s a big gap of absolutely nothing worth chasing for the first week and a half, so don’t bother dusting off the board just yet.
The whole outlook is dominated by poor surf conditions, with scores that are pretty much zero. The water temp is a wild one, sitting at 68°F with a 6°F anomaly – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you do get in, you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first hint of something surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday, the 5th of September. The afternoon has a small 3ft swell from the WSW at 8 seconds, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the SW. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (88). It’s only rated as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t expect much.
Then it’s back to junk until Monday the 7th of September. That afternoon, a 10ft swell from the SW at 7 seconds rolls in with a cross-onshore wind from the W. The combined energy is strong (916), but it’s a messy, short-period windswell, and the wind is onshore, so it’s a no-go.
The biggest pulse hits on Tuesday the 8th of September. Morning sees a massive 16ft swell from the WSW at 11 seconds, with a very strong energy reading of 5848. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the WNW, making it lumpy and dangerous. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not clean. The afternoon is still oversized at 13ft.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, is Thursday the 11th of September. The morning has a 5ft swell from the WSW at 9 seconds, with a fresh cross-offshore wind from the S. The energy is moderate (297), and it’s clean. The same holds for the afternoon. It’s not epic, but it’s the best you’ll get in this entire run. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum W for Blue Pool, but with clean conditions and a point break setup, it could offer a few fun ones. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have a few mates out. For a point break, this 9-second period is decent, giving some shape and energy.
For the rest of the period, it’s a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those big, windy days.

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