Table - best surf conditions forecast for Campbells over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks around Campbells.
First up, don’t get your hopes up for the early days. We’re looking at mostly poor surf conditions through the first part of the forecast period. The good news is that things start to turn around from Tuesday the 14th onwards, with a few windows of clean, manageable waves. The standout sessions – the ones you’ll want to circle on the calendar – look to be Thursday the 23rd and Sunday the 26th. Both days bring a solid, long-period groundswell, light offshore or cross-off winds, and the kind of energy that gets your heart rate up.
Campbells is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent – it doesn’t fire every day, but when it does, it’s worth the wait. The water temperature is sitting at 79.7°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Let’s run through the timeline:
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are a write-off – strong cross-off breeze, clean but small swell, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 13th stays similar – same story.
Tuesday the 14th morning is still marginal, but the afternoon brings a shift: offshore wind, 2.3ft of W swell with a 16-second period, and moderate wave energy (489). The score bumps up to “expect good surf conditions.” It’s small, but it’s clean. Worth a look if you’re desperate.
Wednesday the 15th morning has rain showers and a cross wind, but the afternoon improves: cross-off breeze, 2.6ft W swell at 15 seconds,
Short Range ForecastMostly dry. Warm (max 27°C on Sat afternoon, min 24°C on Sat night). Winds decreasing (fresh winds from the ENE on Sun afternoon, light winds from the ENE by Mon night). | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryLight rain (total 4mm), mostly falling on Wed morning. Warm (max 27°C on Tue afternoon, min 24°C on Tue night). Mainly fresh winds. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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.
