Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks, hey? It’s a bit of a mixed bag on the whole, but there are some windows that’ll get the heart pumping. The water is sitting at 64°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real swell of note hits on Monday, July 6th, but it’s a bit rough. Bronte Beach is copping a solid 8ft to 10ft of SSE swell, but that’s coming with a stiff 19 mph cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions. The combined energy is strong at 1406, but the wind is just making a mess of it. Things start to clean up on Tuesday morning, July 7th, with a 10ft SSE swell and a cross-off breeze from the SSW. The energy jumps to 2132, and the surf is looking clean. This is the standout for the first week. Wednesday morning, July 8th, is also decent with a 10ft SE swell and clean conditions, but the wind is a bit stronger.
By Friday, July 10th, the swell drops to a more manageable 6ft to 6ft from the SE, but the wind is light and cross-off, and the conditions are looking very good. The energy is a moderate 678. This is a solid pick for a cleaner, less intimidating session.
The weekend of July 11th and 12th sees the swell drop right off, with Saturday morning offering only 4ft and Sunday barely 3ft. The wind is okay, but it’s just small. Then we hit a flat spell from Monday, July 13th, through to Tuesday morning, July 14th, with tiny waves and strong offshore winds – not much to write home about.
The next pulse comes on Tuesday, July 14th, with a 6ft S swell and moderate offshore wind, but the energy is moderate at 994. The real highlight for the second week is Wednesday morning, July 15th. You’ve got a 7ft S swell with a clean offshore wind from the W at 12 mph. The energy is strong at 921, and the conditions are set to be very good. After that, the wind gets messy again, and by Thursday, July 16th, it’s a write-off with gale-force winds and poor surf.
So, the best on offer is Tuesday morning, July 7th, with that big 10ft SSE swell and clean conditions, and Wednesday morning, July 15th, for a solid 7ft S swell with clean offshore winds. The rest of the time, it’s either too windy, too small, or a mix of both. Keep your eyes on those windows.

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.
