Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bore over the next 16 days.
Rusty here, and it’s a bleak stretch for Bore for the next while.
From Friday the 10th to Monday the 20th of July, the surf is just poor day after day. Cross-shore and onshore winds from the NNW and NW are messing up any wave that shows up. Water temp is around 56°F – about normal for this time of year.
There’s a big spike on Monday the 20th: 12ft of NW swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is huge at 2302. But it’s too big for most, and the cross-shore wind will keep it ugly. This is for experts only.
Your best chance is Tuesday morning the 21st. Winds go glassy out of the WNW, and we get about 5ft of NW swell at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 217, and the glassy wind will make it clean. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best thing in a rough outlook. Get out there early before the wind turns.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through the end of the outlook.

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