Brenneckes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Brenneckes.

Alright, it’s a bit of a flat start for us. The first real day with anything worth paddling out for is Wednesday morning, July 15th. The pattern for the whole period is a lot of smaller, inconsistent swell with persistent cross-off winds. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The standout by a long shot is that first day, Wednesday, July 15th. We’ve got a clean 3ft to 3ft groundswell rolling in from the west with a long 15-second period. That’s the kind of energy that wraps around and gives you proper waves at a reef setup like Brenneckes. The wind is a solid cross-off, keeping it all glassy. The combined energy is moderate (554), so there’s decent push behind it. This is the best on offer, no question.

Thursday, July 16th is still rideable, with 3ft swell from the west but the period drops a touch to 14 seconds. The wind stiffens up a bit, so it’s still clean but not as special. The energy stays moderate (560).

After that, things get real skinny. From Friday, July 17th through to Tuesday, July 21st, the swell drops to 2ft to 2ft and the direction shifts around. The wind stays cross-off, but the wave energy gets weak and the conditions are marginal to poor. It’s a tough stretch.

Then there’s a bit of a pulse late in the run. Sunday, July 26th sees a 3ft swell from the south, with a long 19-second period in the morning. The energy is moderate (773). The wind stays cross-off, so it’s clean. But the quality is still just marginal, and the direction is not the optimum south that this spot really likes. It’s a better option than the days around it, but not a standout.

The rest of the week into the end of the month is a repeat of small, weak, wind-affected swell. Nothing to write home about.

So, if you’re keen, make the call for Wednesday, July 15th. That’s your window. The rest is a holding pattern.

Rusty.
