Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell you, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead for Bradley Beach. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell to start, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first few days are pretty much a write-off, with small, messy windswell and onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. You’re looking at a solid week of “poor surf conditions” before we even get a sniff of something surfable.
We do get a short window of cleaner conditions, but it’s not exactly gonna have you calling in sick. On Thursday morning, July 9th, the wind swings light cross-offshore from the SSW and the surf cleans up, but it’s tiny. We’re talking 2 ft of weak, short-period E swell (combined energy of 50). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The real standout for the whole 16 days, and I mean the only real glimpse of hope, is Friday morning, July 10th. The wind goes completely dead, glassy calm, and the water will be like a mirror. The swell is still pretty small, 2 ft from the S with a short period of 6 seconds (combined energy of 55), but the glassy conditions make it rideable. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but for a summer morning with no wind, you could have a fun little session on a log. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. For the rest of the second week, we’ve got a mix of small, weak swell and onshore winds. There’s a spike of bigger, choppy energy on Saturday, July 18th, with 6 ft swell from the S, but the wind is howling onshore from the SE, creating a messy, blown-out, 282 combined energy zone. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session. Honestly, for anyone looking for a proper wave, this forecast is a long wait for very little reward. Keep your board waxed, but don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.

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