The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Bronte Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
It's a bit of a slow grind to start, honestly. We've got a long gap right now with nothing really worth paddling out for. Don't get your hopes up for the next few days; you might as well wax the board and wait.
Things start to look a little more promising come Friday morning, the 4th of September. We'll see a pulse of 3ft south swell roll in, and the energy picks up to a moderate 226. The wind is light from the northwest, keeping things clean and cross-off. It's not a massive standout, but it's the first real chance to get wet.
Keep an eye on Monday morning, the 7th of September. The swell bumps up to a clean 4ft from the south with the combined energy hitting a solid 300. A gentle offshore breeze from the northwest will have the lines looking tidy for those who can handle an inconsistent, advanced wave.
Now, the first true standout of the period is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We've got a solid 6ft swell thumping in from the south. The energy jumps to a strong 434, and with a light offshore wind from the west-southwest cleaning everything up, this is the call for the experienced crew. At over 5ft it's getting a bit big for the beginners, so only the advanced surfers should be on it. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit bouncy and less organized, but the size and clean conditions will make for a fun session.
Looking further out, there's another promising window on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. A solid 6ft swell from the east lines up with a clean offshore wind from the west. The energy is strong at 427. It's over a week away, so treat it as a promising but less certain prospect.
Ultimately, the best bet across the whole outlook is that Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. The biggest, cleanest swell of the period. The water temp is sitting around 63°, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
After that, it's a mixed bag of onshore winds and choppy conditions, so pick your windows carefully. There’s not a lot of consistency here, but when it comes together, Bronte can fire.
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.

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.
