Alright, Rusty here again.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up over the next couple of weeks at Bullies, but you’ve got to pick your moments. The first few days are a bit messy with some lumpy cross-shore winds and questionable conditions, but there’s some quality windows later on that are well worth getting excited about. The water temp is sitting at 59°F, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first real standout is shaping up for Monday, July 6th morning. Bullies will have a clean 7ft SSW swell with a long 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE. That’s a beautiful combo – the wave energy is moderate (1592), but the conditions will be clean and well-shaped for experienced surfers. This is the kind of morning where you paddle out early and don’t regret it.
Then, Wednesday, July 8th morning is the true highlight. Swell is 8ft from the SSW with a very long 18-second period, cross-offshore NE wind at just 6 mph, and the combined energy is strong (3413). This is a serious groundswell – the kind that will set up lovely lines at Bullies, though with that long period it might get a bit straight at the beach. Still, for advanced surfers, this is the best on offer. Keep in mind, with the size over 8ft, it’s strictly for the experienced crew.
There’s a bit of a lull mid-month. From Tuesday, July 14th through to Wednesday, July 15th afternoon, it’s pretty poor – cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and the swell drops off. Not worth paddling out unless you enjoy a beating.
Things clean up again on Saturday, July 18th morning with a 5ft SSW swell, light offshore NNW wind, and clean conditions. It’s not big, but it’ll be fun and clean – a good way to close out the forecast window.
Crowds? Bullies can get busy sometimes, so if you’re heading out on the Monday or Wednesday standouts, get there early.
One more thing: there’s a gap of about two days in the middle where there’s really nothing worth riding. But overall, the consistent swells and clean windows make this a promising stretch.
Rusty.

Information about the Bullies Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bullies provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bullies can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bullies 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 (Bullies) 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 Bullies 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.
