Bulli Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bulli Beach.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, just a little extra warmth in the water.

Alright, the good news is we’ve got a solid couple of days to start the week. Monday morning, July 20th, is the standout. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell running out of the ENE, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell, plenty of energy behind it. The combined energy is moderate (787). The wind is a light offshore from the NNW, so it’s going to be clean. This is good for advanced surfers; at 6ft it’s pushing the limits for beginners, but it’s going to be a fun session for those who know what they’re doing. Bulli Beach is a beach and reef setup, so with that long period, it’ll hold up better around the reef sections. Expect crowds sometimes.

Monday afternoon the wind swings cross-offshore and picks up a little, so it won’t be as pristine, but still surfable.

Tuesday morning, July 21st, still sees a clean 5ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, with light cross-offshore winds. The energy is moderate (388). It’s not as punchy as Monday, but still a good session for the more experienced.

Wednesday morning, July 22nd, has a smaller 4ft ENE swell, 10 second period, with a light cross-offshore from the west under cloudy skies. Still worth a paddle, but the energy is dropping (257).

From Thursday, July 23rd, the swell fades fast. We’re down to 3ft by the morning, and the wind starts to get a bit stronger. The surf quality is poor from here on out. The combined energy drops to 117, then into the little numbers. It’s a real dry spell.

We’re looking at a long empty patch from Thursday through to the end of the first week and into the start of August. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and there’s nothing to get excited about. There’s a brief tease on August 1st with a glassy morning, but the swell is only 0.7ft, so it’s a flat day.

The only real highlight in the whole 16-day window is that Monday morning, July 20th. Get on it, because after that, it’s a long wait. The spot is fairly consistent, but this run looks like a proper lull. Forecasts can change, but right now, that’s all she wrote.

Rusty.
