The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's cookin' for the Bunbury region over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a classic case of "don't bother yet." The weekend is a write-off with messy, poor conditions. Water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than we'd expect for this time of year – you're gonna want a good wetsuit.
The true hero of this whole outlook, the session you should be locking into your calendar, is Tuesday, July 28th. That morning, Bunbury Bay is waking up with a clean 5ft swell from the WSW. The wind is light and blowing straight offshore from the east. It's going to be pure, clean lines. That afternoon? Forget it. The wind drops to a dead glass, with the swell settling to 4ft from the same direction. That's the pick of the entire 16-day period, no question.
After that, we get a few more tidy mornings. Wednesday, July 29th is still looking good with a 4ft, 17-second groundswell that has some serious energy. The wind is cross-off from the NE, so expect some long, wrapping lines, though that long period might make it a bit walled-up at a beach break.
Now, we have to be honest about the back half of the window. From the 1st of August onwards, conditions get way more marginal. There are a couple of clean-looking mornings, but the swell sizes are smaller and the winds are not as kind. The only other real standout is way down the track on Sunday, August 9th. A solid 8ft WSW groundswell (17-second period) is forecast, with the wind forecast to be dead glass. For an experienced surfer, that's a massive draw card. It's promising, but it’s way off in the distance, so don't take it to the bank. That's expert territory though; 8ft with that much energy is no joke for a learner.
Most of the days in between are either too blown out, too small, or too messy to get excited about. Honestly, apart from next Tuesday and that far-off Sunday, there's not much to write home about. Hold out for the good days.
Stay stoked,
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.
