The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is – Bob Hall Pier is looking bleak for the next couple of weeks. There’s just no surf worth chasing.
From this Sunday and Monday, we’ve got tiny, weak swell – maybe 1 to 2 feet from the SSE. The wind is cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave energy is basically nothing, sitting between 8 and 13. It’s flat and messy. Tuesday and Wednesday are the same story: a little more height, maybe 2 feet, but that SE wind is blowing right into it, and the energy only gets to 36. Still poor.
Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 12th, the swell struggles to hit 3 feet, and the wind picks up – moderate to fresh breezes from the SSE and SE keep things choppy and lumpy. The energy numbers stay in the 30s and 40s, so there’s no punch behind it. Not worth it.
By Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, we finally see some size – 4 to 5 feet from the SE, and the energy jumps into the 100s and 200s, which is moderate. But the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore, and the period is short, only 6 to 7 seconds. That means weak, wind-chopped waves. The notes still say “poor surf conditions,” so it’s a no-go.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th offer a small window. The swell holds around 4 to 5 feet from the SE, and for the first time, we get some clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the north. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning are described as "clean." Even then, the period is short and the energy drops back to the 100s, so it’s not exactly firing. But if you’re really jonesing, those are the least bad windows.
From Thursday the 17th onward, it fades again – swell drops under 3 feet, energy falls into the 50s and 60s, and the wind turns back cross-onshore or onshore. By the end, it’s back to tiny, weak dribble.
Honestly, there is no standout day here. Not one session scores better than a 0 in the guidance. The water is about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing. Beginners might find the small stuff mid-week safe, but it won’t be fun. For everyone else, this is a long dry spell. The good news is Bob Hall Pier is usually consistent, so this flat patch won’t last forever – forecasts can change.
Keep an eye on it, and maybe bring a kite if the wind keeps blowing. Rusty out.

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.
