The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
First off, the water is a balmy 86°, running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – no need for anything thick.
Gotta be honest – this is a rough stretch. From Sunday the 13th all the way through the middle of the following week, it’s a desert. Swell is tiny, mostly 1 to 3 feet, period is short (5 to 7 seconds), and the wind is a pain. Sunday the 13th has a risk of thunderstorms with a cross-on SE breeze at 12-16 mph, making a mess. That pattern hangs around. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are clear but cross-on and choppy. Wednesday the 16th brings onshore winds and even smaller waves. Every single session is poor – no scores above zero. Wave energy is weak, mostly in the 30s and 60s – just no power.
Friday the 18th sees a bump: waves hit 4 feet from the east with a 7-second period, and energy jumps to 166 – moderate – but the wind is cross-on from the east at 9 mph, so it stays fairly choppy and still poor. Saturday the 19th morning is the closest we get to decent: light SSE winds at just 3 mph, only cross-on, with a 3-foot east swell. Energy drops to 97, still weak, but with a light breeze and small ripples, it’s the least bad session of the whole forecast. Not good, but it’s the best on offer.
After that, it fades again. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st drop to 1 foot with almost no energy (down to 7 or 9). Tuesday the 22nd morning actually goes glassy with a light west wind at 3 mph, but the swell is only 1 foot from the east with a 5-second period. Clean but flat. Wednesday the 23rd through to Monday the 28th stays small and mostly onshore, with occasional light cross-on breezes – nothing ever breaks 3 feet. Energy stays weak, mostly 11 to 38.
So here it is: no real standouts. Saturday the 19th morning is the only window worth even thinking about. Bob Hall Pier is a beginner-friendly beach/pier spot and usually consistent, but this is a real dry spell. With poor quality and weak energy, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it doesn’t usually stay this flat for long.
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.
