Alright, let’s look at what Cable Station Reef has cooking.
Water temp is running about 64°F, which is roughly 4°F colder than normal for this time of year — you’ll feel that chill.
This first Sunday, July 5th, brings a tiny 3ft swell with light cross-on wind and weak juice. Not one to rush out for.
But hold onto your board — Monday July 6th fires up proper. We’re talking 8ft to 8ft of solid WSW groundswell, 15 to 16 seconds between waves, and light offshore breeze from the southeast. Combined energy reads 2642 – strong. Clean faces, powerful, expert territory only. This is the absolute best session in the whole window.
Tuesday July 7th morning keeps the quality: 8ft swell, 15 seconds, glassy cross-off conditions. The afternoon gets a bit more side-shore but the morning session is money.
Wednesday July 8th stays big but winds go cross and the surface gets bumpy. Thursday the 9th brings more of the same with showers and chop.
Friday July 10th is a wildcard: 5ft swell, glassy all morning, light breeze. Not the biggest but damn clean.
Saturday July 11th gets too windy and messy. Sunday July 12th is another top pick: around 7ft, long 16 to 17 second period, light offshore breeze, clean lines. Another excellent day for experienced surfers.
The second week starts smaller but clean. Monday July 13th has 3ft to 5ft with offshore wind. Tuesday July 14th bumps up a bit to about 7ft, still clean.
Then midweek turns ugly. Wednesday July 15th gets cross and choppy. Thursday July 16th has strong 25 mph cross-on winds with rain — avoid. Friday July 17th is even worse with 30 mph winds and messy 8ft+ swell.
Best session in the second week? Saturday July 18th morning: glassy conditions, 6ft swell — a true hidden gem.
Sunday July 19th and Monday July 20th are smaller but clean, good for logging.
So the standout is undeniably Monday July 6th and Tuesday July 7th. Second best is Sunday July 12th. After that, pick your windows carefully.

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