Bronte Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Bronte Beach.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real promise on the horizon if you can pick your moments. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The first real standout that gets me excited is the morning of Thursday, 24 July. The swell is coming from the south at 5ft, with a clean, light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is solid (421), and that combo is going to have some punchy, well-shaped lines. Just be aware, it’s an exposed setup, so it’ll take the full brunt of that swell. You’ll want to be comfortable in that size.

Then, Saturday morning, 25 July, is where it gets really good. We’re looking at a 5ft south swell, with a 11-second period, meaning it’s a proper groundswell. The offshore wind is cranking from the west at 15 mph, keeping it clean and lined up. The energy is pumping (644). This is the best on offer for the whole outlook – get on it early.

Sunday morning, 26 July, is still decent with a 4ft south swell and clean cross-offshore breezes, but the wind is lighter. It’s a good follow-up session.

The rest of the week dips a bit. Monday and Tuesday are small or messy. Wednesday, 29 July, shows a morning window with a 4ft south swell and a gentle offshore, but the consistency is an issue – this break is “inconsistent” so don’t expect a set every minute.

The next highlight is a late-morning session on Thursday, 30 July, when it goes glassy. The swell is 3ft from the south, but the energy bumps up (322) and with zero wind, that’s a session of pure, clean lines.

Then we get a run of very good days starting Friday, 31 July. The morning has a 4ft south swell with a solid offshore wind, and the energy is up (576). The afternoon is even better, with the same swell and light offshore winds, pushing the energy to 658. That’s a long, clean session.

Saturday, 1 August, keeps the momentum going. The morning brings a 5ft south swell with a moderate offshore wind, and the energy hits 929 – that’s some serious push. It’s a standout if you can handle the size. The afternoon has a bit of cross-shore breeze, but it’s still surfable.

The second week gets a bit more complicated. Sunday, 2 August, has a messy morning with rain and onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze. Monday, 3 August, has a 4ft south swell with strong offshore winds, but the energy is high (755) – it’s more of a kite-surfing setup with that wind strength. The trend continues through the week with moderate offshore winds and solid swell, but the wind is a bit stronger, so it’s less about perfect glass and more about raw power. The morning of 4 August and 5 August both hold good, clean lines with moderate offshore winds.

Look, this place is inconsistent, so when it’s firing, you’ve got to be there. The standouts are Saturday morning, 25 July, and Saturday morning, 1 August. Don’t sleep on the glassy Thursday, 30 July, either.

Rusty.
