Bronte Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, grab your springsuit and let’s see what Bronte Beach has on offer over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed forecast, but there are a few sessions worth getting out of bed for.

We start off Monday the 7th of September with a tidy morning. Swell’s around 4 ft out of the SSE, short 8 second period – so it’s windswell, not much grunt. But the wind is light cross-off from the NW, so the surface is clean and glassy. Combined swell energy is moderate at 258, and it’s a solid start to the week. Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing unusual.

Tuesday morning the 8th jumps up to 8 ft from the SSE, but the wind swings south at 25 mph cross-shore, turning it into a lumpy mess. That’s expert-only size anyway, but the chop kills it. Thursday the 10th has similar size – 8 ft from the south – with cross-off SSW wind keeping it cleaner. Energy climbs to 1273, but the wind’s still fresh enough to make it marginal.

The standout arrives on Friday the 11th of September. Morning brings 8 ft of S swell with a 10 second period – proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 2101. Wind is cross-off from the SSW at just 15 mph, so it’ll be clean and powerful. This is for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners – but if you’ve got the chops, this is the best session of the outlook.

Saturday the 12th still has fun leftovers – 6 ft from the SSE with a longer 11 second period and light cross-off wind. Clean and more user-friendly. Energy’s at 754, solid moderate punch.

After that, the middle of next week drops right off. Sunday the 13th has small 3 ft swell with onshore NE wind killing it. Monday the 14th is tiny at 2 ft. Tuesday the 15th is flat with 1 ft and a long 14 second period – all show, no go.

We get another pulse on Thursday the 17th of September – 5 ft from the south, 10 seconds, and glassy conditions with SSW wind at just 5 mph. Clean and fun, energy at 443. A solid option for a session.

Then the real late-bloomer hits on Saturday the 19th of September. Morning has 7 ft from the south with a long 12 second period and offshore WNW wind at 20 mph. Clean, strong groundswell, energy reading of 1492 – another one for the experienced crew. Afternoon holds at 6 ft with lighter offshore wind – still excellent.

Sunday the 20th keeps the good run with 7 ft south swell, 10 seconds, and gentle offshore W wind. Clean and punchy.

From Monday the 21st onward, the wind turns against us and the swell fades, so it’s small and choppy through to the 22nd.

Bottom line: Friday the 11th of September is the pick of the bunch for big, clean groundswell, and Saturday the 19th of September is another cracker with offshore conditions. The rest is either small, windy, or just average.

Rusty.
