The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles, like it’s 1975.
Bronte Beach Outlook
So, the next few days are a bit of a tease. The real winner is Saturday the 25th of July. We’ve got a solid south swell rolling in at about 5 to 6 feet, with an 11-second period, so plenty of push. The wind will be howling offshore from the west at around 12 mph, which means those waves will be clean and glassy. This is the session you don’t want to miss. The water temp is around 64°, dead average for the season. The south swell hits the exposed spots nicely, and the energy in the water is solid (605).
Sunday the 26th of July morning is a solid backup too. The swell bumps up a touch, maybe 6 feet, still from the south with an 11-second period. The wind turns a bit cross-off from the WSW at 9 mph, so still clean. A little more energy in the water (753) as well.
After that, we’re looking at a long, slow fade. Monday the 27th morning has a smaller south swell, maybe 4 feet, with an offshore wind, but the energy is way down (200). It’s surfable but just okay. From Tuesday the 28th, it gets sad. The swell drops off a cliff, down to tiny 2-foot waves for days. The wind is all over the place. There’s a moment on the 29th of July with a 6-foot afternoon bump, but the wind is screaming onshore at 18 mph, making a total mess. That’s a kite day, not a surf day.
Honestly, from the 28th of July all the way through to the 8th of August, it’s mostly flat and poor. You’ll get the odd clean morning with an offshore breeze, but the swell is pitiful – often under 3 feet and weak energy (often under 100 in the combined reading). There’s a small, clean window on the 3rd of August morning with a 2-foot swell and a light offshore, but it’s barely worth wetting a wetsuit.
Bottom line: Saturday the 25th of July morning is your best bet by a country mile. Sunday morning is your second chance. After that, Bronte goes to sleep. It’s an inconsistent spot, and this run proves it. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
