Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Bronte Beach.
First thing you need to know: the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for surf. The first real chance to get wet doesn't show up until Wednesday morning, July 15th, so there's a big gap of several days with nothing to recommend.
The real standout for the whole period looks to be that Wednesday morning, July 15th. Bronte Beach is a beach and reef setup, and it’s going to get a solid pulse of southerly swell. We’re looking at a 10ft swell from the S, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving, with combined swell energy hitting 2611, which is strong. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 22 mph, which will keep the surface clean. This is big, powerful stuff – over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experts. Beginners, stay on the sand for this one.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The next decent option is the following Saturday morning, July 19th. The swell drops right back to 3ft from the E, but with a period of 9 seconds, the energy is weak at 208. The magic here is the wind – a light cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. It’s small, but it’ll be a nice, cruisy session for someone on a log.
After that, Wednesday morning, July 22nd, offers another chance. A 4ft swell from the S with a 9-second period and 475 combined energy (moderate) is punchy enough. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so glassy, clean conditions. That’s a good looking morning for a paddle.
Thursday the 23rd also has a couple of windows. The morning is small at 3ft from the S, but with a 10-second period and offshore W wind at 12 mph, it’s clean and rideable. The afternoon gets interesting: a 2ft swell from the S, but with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and despite the small size, it will have some push. The combined energy is 337 (moderate), and with a light cross-off from the NNW, it could be a fun, tricky afternoon session.
Overall, the pick of the bunch is clearly Wednesday, July 15th morning for the big, clean, expert-only swell. For the rest of us, the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd looks like the best bet for a clean, moderate session.
Rusty.

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