Alright, let’s talk about what’s cooking. This is Rusty, and I’m breaking down the next couple of weeks for Bronte Beach.
First up, it’s a slow burn. Sunday the 12th kicks off with a tiny 2ft ESE swell, clean with offshore wind, but there’s hardly any energy (95). You’ll be floating more than surfing. It’s not until Wednesday the 15th that we get some size, but a strong 35 km/h south wind messes up a 8ft swell – lumpy and cross-shore. That’s a no-go.
The real action starts on Sunday the 19th of July. That morning, Bronte lights up with a solid 7ft easterly swell, 11-second period, and light offshore NW wind. The energy is pumping (1068), and it’s clean. This is the pick of the whole forecast – a proper session for experienced surfers. Water temp is about what you’d expect for winter.
Then Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the good vibes going. Monday has 6ft east swell with moderate offshore wind, clean and fun. Tuesday the 21st brings a bigger 8ft ESE swell with a long 12-second period, but the wind is moderate offshore. The energy is very strong (1615) – this one’s for the experts only, as it’s big and powerful.
After that, the swell drops. Thursday the 23rd has a clean 6ft ESE swell with light offshore wind – that’s a solid day. Into the second week, things get smaller. Saturday the 25th is a nice finish: 3ft SE swell with glassy conditions in the afternoon. Small, clean, and fun.
So yeah, there’s a gap of flat days upfront, then a killer run from the 19th through the 23rd. The 19th is the standout. The second week is smaller but still has a couple of clean, ridable days.
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.
