The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we're looking at a pretty quiet stretch for the most part. The first proper surf window doesn't really open up until the end of the month, and even then, it's not exactly pumping. There's a long gap of flat to poor conditions right through the start, so don't get your hopes up for the first week.
The main event, and really the only standout, is Campbells around Monday afternoon, August 10th. That's the one you want to circle on the calendar. We've got a clean 4ft SSW swell rolling in with a solid 15-second period, and the wind is gentle offshore from the ENE. That's a recipe for some clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy hits 765 (moderate), so there's some decent push behind it. It's a reef break, so that long period groundswell will be well-handled. Keep in mind, it's an inconsistent spot, so you might have to wait for the sets, but when they come, they'll be worth it.
Before that, Tuesday morning, August 12th is worth a mention, too. The swell drops to 3ft from the SSW, but it's absolutely glassy with no wind. That's a rare treat, and the energy is still moderate at 364. It'll be small and clean, perfect for a longboard or a fun board. Just don't expect much more than that.
The rest of the run is a write-off. Strong winds, mostly cross-off, and tiny swell keep the scores low. It's not really kite-surfing weather either, given the onshore sideshore winds. For the first week or so, there's just nothing doing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
So, to wrap it up: sit tight, wait for that Monday afternoon, August 10th at Campbells. That's your best bet. The glassy Tuesday morning the 12th is a solid backup if you're desperate for a small, clean session.
Rusty.

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