The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Bob Hall Pier is a tough one. We're looking at a long, flat spell to start, and even when the ocean shows a bit of life, the conditions just aren't playing ball.
Right now, and for the first several days, there's basically nothing doing. We're stuck with tiny, weak swell. Expect waves around 0.7 ft to 3 ft all the way through the end of August and into the first week of September. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely reaching double digits most of the time – 16 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on a good day, and often lower. On top of that, the wind is a constant problem, coming straight onshore or cross-onshore from the southeast, chopping up whatever little bump there is. It's a write-off for a paddle surfer.
Things don't really improve through the first week of September. We see a slight bump in height, but the period drops to a shocking 5 seconds. That’s pure windswell with no push, wrapped in poor surf conditions. The wind stays messy. You’re not missing a thing.
We finally see a glimmer of something bigger around Wednesday, September 9th. The swell height pushes up to 4 ft in the morning, and by the afternoon it's hitting 5 ft with a combined energy of 151 (moderate wave energy). That’s a real increase in power. However, and it's a big however, the wind cranks up to a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore. That's going to turn the whole beach into a lumpy, bumpy mess. With that much wind and a beach break setup, this honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone on a paddleboard.
Into the second week, around the 10th and 11th of September, we see some waist-high swell (3 ft to 4 ft) but the period is still a short 6 seconds, and the wind, while easing a bit, is still cross-onshore. A very faint chance on Sunday the 13th with light easterly wind at 3 mph and a 3 ft swell, but the conditions are still noted as poor and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. It’s not inspiring.
Overall, it’s a bleak 16-day window at Bob Hall Pier. Nothing here stands out as worth paddling out for.

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.
