Bulli Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Bulli Beach.

Honestly, we’re in for a pretty quiet period. For most of the first week and a half, it’s going to be frustratingly small. The swell is barely a ripple for days, with most sessions offering nothing but tiny dribbles – we’re talking 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the NE or E, and the combined wave energy is weak, often well under 100. It’s just not going to get you moving. Expect a long stretch of poor conditions from now right through until the morning of Monday the 3rd of August.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday morning, August 3rd. We get a pulse of S/SE swell, bumping up to 3ft with a period of 11 seconds – that’s groundswell, with some decent energy (188). The wind is offshore from the NW, so it should be clean. It’s ordinary, but it’s surfable. The afternoon stays manageable with the same S/SE energy.

Then it goes quiet again. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 5th and 6th, but with the swell sitting at 0.7-1.0ft, it’s a board-floating session, not really a surfing one.

The real standout in this whole 16-day window is shaping up for Sunday morning, August 9th, and carrying into Monday the 10th. This is where things finally get interesting. On Sunday morning the 9th, we see a solid E/SE swell at 2ft but with a long 12-second period. The combined energy jumps right up to 237, which is the moderate-strong range. Winds are light and cross-off from the north, meaning clean conditions. It’s the best bet in this whole window for a proper surf. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The only buzzkill is that crowds are possible at this spot, so fair warning.

Monday morning the 10th then holds similar size – 5ft from the ESE with an 11-second period – and a big energy reading of 638. There’s a moderate cross-off breeze again from the north, keeping it clean. This is expert territory at 5ft with that energy, but if you’re up for it, it’s the best run of waves in the whole outlook. Watch out for the afternoon though, as conditions get messier.

Tuesday the 11th still has some leftover ESE swell at 3ft, with clean offshore WNW winds, but the energy has dropped back to 232. It’s worth a look for a morning session.

After that, it’s back into ordinary, fading conditions for the rest of the window. Small E swells, onshore winds, and low energy. Not much to write home about.

So, to cut it short: if you’re keen, lock in Sunday morning, August 9th. That’s your best chance at something decent. Monday the 10th is also a goer for the more experienced crew. Everything else is just waiting and hoping.
