The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's look at what Bunbury Bay has lined up for you.
The next few weeks are a bit of a mixed story, but there are some cracking moments if you're smart about it. The water is 17°, which is a touch colder than average for this time of year, so you'll want a thick wetsuit.
The real standout is Saturday, 1st August. The morning is the pick of the whole outlook, with a clean 7ft swell from the WSW and a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE. The wave energy is strong (1635), and those 15-second groundswell lines will have good shape. The afternoon is just as good, with a 7ft swell and a moderate offshore breeze from the SE. This is excellent surf, but it's for experienced surfers only at this size.
The next best is Sunday, 2nd August afternoon. The swell drops to 5ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy, making for some of the cleanest conditions you'll find. The energy is moderate (765), but for a smaller, more relaxed wave, it's a beauty.
Before that, Tuesday, 28th July morning is a solid option. You've got a clean 5ft swell from the WSW with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (831), and the 14-second period gives it a bit of grunt. It's good enough for a beginner to have a go.
There's a rough patch from Wednesday, 30th July afternoon through to Friday, 31st July, with onshore winds and messy surf. The wind goes bad on Thursday, 31st July morning, with a 5ft swell and a cross-on breeze, so it's a skip.
The following week from Monday, 4th August onwards, things get big and ugly. On Tuesday, 5th August, the swell hits 15ft from the W, but it's too big and the winds are onshore. That's dangerous. The swell stays massive through the rest of the week, with strong onshore winds and rain – that's kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The last chance for a wave is on Wednesday, 12th August afternoon, with a 8ft swell from the WNW and a cross-off breeze, but it's a marginal call.
So, the main event is Saturday, 1st August. Get on it.
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.
