Table - best surf conditions forecast for Canova Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bust.
We're staring down a long flat spell. From July 11th all the way through the end of the month, the swell is barely a ripple. It's all coming from the ESE at 8 seconds, and the wave heights are a pathetic 1 foot. The combined energy is bottomed out (21 at best).
The first week at Canova Beach is a total write-off. Saturday the 11th is choppy and onshore. Sunday the 12th morning gets a clean moment with a light offshore wind, but the wave is still just 1 foot. Monday the 13th morning also looks clean with a light offshore breeze, but it's on the same tiny, weak swell.
For the rest of the month, from the 13th onward, it's a long, blank run. You'll see some glassy mornings and clean cross-offshore winds, but all of them are on a 1-foot wave. The combined energy never gets out of the teens. It's a total snoozer.
There is nothing that even comes close to a standout session. Not a single one. This is a time to leave the boards in the car and just enjoy the beach.
I wouldn't hold your breath on this one, but the forecasts can always change. Until then, Rusty.

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