The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Bunbury Bay has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we're starting with a bit of a quiet spell. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a little colder than what we'd normally expect for this time of year, so you might want that extra mil.
The first real highlight is a beauty on Tuesday the 14th of July. The afternoon is looking glassy with a clean 5ft West swell rolling in. The period is a long 15 seconds, meaning proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a solid 1131 (moderate). This is going to be a clean, fun session for the intermediate crew. It's a fairly consistent spot, so conditions are looking prime.
From there, things get messy. Wednesday the 15th through to the start of the following week is a write-off with strong, choppy onshore winds and rain. The swell sticks around, but it's not worth paddling out for.
Things start to look a little more promising on the horizon. We get a few cleaner windows, but nothing special until we look further out. The standout of the whole period is shaping up for Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning is looking clean with a light offshore breeze and a solid 8ft West swell. That's expert territory, as it's over the 8ft mark, but the energy is strong (3435) and the conditions are clean. This is a big, powerful swell for the experienced surfers to get excited about.
So, the short story is: get on it this Tuesday the 14th if you can, then wait it out for that big, clean swell on the 29th of July.
Rusty.

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