The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for Bogue Pier over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty grim outlook. We've got a solid 10 days of nothing really worth paddling out for, with close to zero quality on offer until Tuesday the 4th of August. The start of the period is a write-off – messy winds, storm risks, and messy bumpy surf. The only thing that keeps us going is knowing things can flick a switch.
The first glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 4th of August in the morning. After a real rough stretch, the wind drops away to glassy conditions. That's a huge win. We're looking at a small 3ft swell from the SSW, with a combined wave energy of (122) – that's weak, no doubt. The waves will be surfable but very ordinary. It's not going to blow your mind, but the clean conditions will make it the most pleasant session of the week. Water temp is a balmy 83° which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The next real standout doesn't show up until Thursday the 13th of August. We get another morning of glassy winds, this time from the ENE. Swell is a touch bigger at 3ft from the southwest, and the energy is back to moderate (113). Again, the combo of glass and a small, clean swell will be the high point of this run. The swell period is only 6 seconds, so it's weak windswell, but at a jetty like Bogue Pier it'll still offer a few rideable lines when it's this clean.
Outside of those two brief windows, it's honestly a mess. Sunday the 2nd of August through to Monday the 10th of August sees strong onshore winds and stormy conditions pushing through, with the swell jumping up to a messy 8ft on the Sunday afternoon. That's too big for beginners and just lumpy, onshore junk for everyone else. The energy hits (539) on Sunday – that's strong, but with a 30 km/h SSW wind blowing straight on it, it's a kite surfer's playground, not a paddle surfer's. After that, it fades into small, choppy, cross-onshore slop.
So, if you're itching to get wet, your two best shots are the mornings of Tuesday the 4th and Thursday the 13th of August for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves on offer. The rest is a long stretch of poor to awful. Hang in there.
Rusty.

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 Bogue 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.
