Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Bunbury Bay. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there's some proper grunt coming through later on, so don’t write this week off.
We kick off on Friday, 3rd of July. The morning is clean, with a light 6 mph easterly breeze keeping things tidy. Swell is a playful 5 ft out of the WSW, with a solid 14-second period giving it some real push. The water’s sitting at 62°, which is a hefty 4° colder than what you’d expect this time of year—so you’ll want a good steamer. The wave energy is moderate at 742, perfect for a beginner-friendly session. The afternoon holds up too, with similar conditions and a light cross-off breeze.
Saturday the 4th is a write-off, I’m afraid. The wind swings around to the NNE at 12 mph, putting a cross-shore chop on the surface, and the tide looks messy. Swell is still there at 5 ft, but it’s not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 5th is poor. Rain and chunky onshore winds up to 16 mph make a mess of the small 2-3 ft swell. Leave it.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 6th is your standout. The swell jumps to 7-8 ft from the west, with a long 16-second period. The wave energy is pumping at 2413, so this is for experienced surfers only. But the wind is offshore from the SE at 12-16 mph, keeping the faces clean and lined up. Both the morning and afternoon sessions look excellent. Tuesday the 7th keeps the good run going with similar 7 ft west swell and gentle offshore winds—another ripper for the confident crew.
Wednesday the 8th is a treat for the early bird. A glassy morning with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the SE, and the swell easing to a fun 4 ft from the WSW. This is clean, user-friendly, and a great chance for a mellow session.
Thursday the 9th stays solid with a 6 ft west swell and light cross-off southerlies. Good shape, moderate energy at 1352. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th drop off in size, with smaller 3-4 ft swells and clean conditions, but nothing to write home about.
Then on Sunday the 12th, we get another little standout. Moderate offshore winds from the ESE at 12 mph, a 5-5 ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, and wave energy of 1195. Clean lines, good push, and not too crowded. Well worth a session.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th offer similar swell sizes but with cross-off winds that keep the surface tidy, though the quality dips a bit. From Wednesday the 15th onwards, the wind turns northerly and the swell fades, so it’s back to poor conditions.
Looking way ahead, around Friday the 17th to Saturday the 18th, the swell goes nuts—10 ft to 15 ft from the west with enormous wave energy over 7000. But it’s way too big for Bunbury Bay, and the wind is onshore or cross-shore, so that’s purely for the tow-in crew or maybe the kite surfers if they’re keen.
So, the pick of the fortnight: Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th for the bigger, clean west swell and offshore winds. If you want something more mellow, Wednesday 8th morning with the glassy conditions is a beauty.
That’s it from me. Stay safe out there.

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.
Bunbury Bay is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Perth South Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
