The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the Bronte Beach surf over the next couple of weeks. It's a mixed bag, but we've got a couple of windows that are gonna deliver.
The forecast kicks off with a bit of a wait. Thursday the 10th has some swell (7ft) but it's junky with a strong cross-shore wind, so we're not counting it. Friday morning the 11th is the first real glimpse of something decent. Bronte Beach (Australia) picks up a 6ft SSE swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The real standout, though, is further out. If you can wait, Saturday the 19th is your golden ticket. We've got a solid 10ft S groundswell rolling in, and the wind goes glassy off the land in the morning. That's clean, powerful surf, but this one is for experienced surfers only – anything over 8ft is no place for beginners. The combined swell energy is ripping at 1944 (strong to very strong), and the period is a long 11 seconds, so expect well-formed, powerful lines. Get on it. The afternoon cleans up too with a 7ft S swell and light cross-offshore air.
Before that, Saturday the 12th and Thursday the 17th mornings both offer glassy, clean conditions on smaller waves. The 12th has a 4ft S swell, and the 17th has the same – perfect for a longboard or a fun, mellow session on the inside banks if the wind holds.
For the rest of the period, there’s plenty of swell on the cards, but the wind is mostly a problem. Sunday the 20th has 7ft from the SSE, but the cross-on wind makes it lumpy. Monday the 21st morning is worth noting with 5ft from the SE and glassy conditions. Later, on Thursday the 24th, we get a clean offshore wind in the afternoon with a 6ft ENE swell – not the best direction for Bronte, but it could still offer some fun, clean waves if the tide lines up.
The biggest gaps in quality surf sit around the middle of the second week, particularly the 22nd and 23rd, and again on the 25th – that's largely blown-out or gutless. Stick to those standout mornings I've called out, and you'll be alright.
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.
