The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the surf ahead. This is a tough outlook for the entire 16-day window. The data shows a prolonged run of poor surf conditions with no standout days to get excited about.
Right off the bat, there’s no real surf to speak of. The whole period from Sunday, August 2nd, right through to Monday, August 17th, is a flat, windy mess. We're looking at a solid 16-day gap with no good waves on offer. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, chopping up any bit of energy that tries to show up.
The only break in the game is Bob Hall Pier. It’s a consistent beach-and-pier setup, but that consistency doesn't mean quality. The swell is tiny, ranging from 2 ft to 4 ft, coming from the SSE or SE with a short, weak period of just 5 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, usually in the 30s and 40s, with the highest reading only hitting 106 (moderate) on Thursday afternoon, August 6th. But even then, the wind is howling at 15 mph from the SE, making it a cross-onshore, choppy mess. The water temperature is a warm 84°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that won't help the waves.
There is no standout here. Every single session is labeled "poor surf conditions." The best you could hope for is a tiny, gutless wave with onshore wind hacking it apart. Honestly, with the significant swell being so small and the wind so strong, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, and for this area, it’s not unusual to see a stretch like this when the wind won't cooperate. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

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