The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Campbells over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there. The break is a reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so it’s not one of those spots that fires every day. When it’s on, though, it’s a gem.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Wednesday the 15th July has a long-period 15s groundswell rolling in from the west at 3 ft, with clean conditions in the afternoon thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (547), but it’s not a standout. Thursday the 16th morning is clean but the wind picks up, and by the afternoon a fresh breeze kills it. Friday the 17th through to Sunday the 19th are pretty grim – strong winds and poor surf quality, with energy dropping into the 200s. That’s a stretch of days you can skip.
Now, Monday the 20th July starts to look better. The swell hangs around 3 ft from the south, with a 16s period and moderate energy (491). The afternoon has a proper offshore breeze, making for clean, lined-up waves. That’s a good session for the confident intermediate.
The next real highlight comes on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th July. Saturday morning has a light offshore breeze, 3 ft SSW swell with a 19s period, and energy pushing up to 825 – that’s strong, punchy stuff. The afternoon bumps up to 4 ft from the SSW with an 18s period and energy nearly 1000 (997). Offshore winds and a reef break handling that long period beautifully. Sunday the 26th keeps the good vibes with 3 ft to 3 ft SSW swell, 16s period, and light to moderate offshore winds. These two days are the standouts of the whole outlook: clean, solid, and that long-period groundswell will be cranking down the line. Get on it.
After that, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th fade back into poor conditions with strong winds and low energy. The window closes again.
So, the pick of the bunch is Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th July at Campbells. It’s inconsistent, so when it’s this good, you don’t sleep on it. Crowds are likely, but that’s the price for a reef that’s handling 18 to 19s groundswell with offshore winds.
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.
