Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next stretch.
Honestly, mate, it's gonna be a quiet one. We're looking at a long, flat spell kicking things off. For the next two weeks, nothing is really going to get the heart pumping. The water is a warm 85°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The first week is a total write-off. From Sunday the 12th right through to the end of that week, every session is tiny. We're talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely cracking 2ft. The combined wave energy is weak, with values mostly in the teens and twenties. The wind does offer some clean windows – like Sunday morning and Tuesday morning, both glassy – but there's just no push. It's a frustrating wait. The second week doesn't look any better. The morning of Saturday the 25th sees a tiny bump to 2ft from the east, but with onshore wind, it's not going to be pretty. The energy is still weak at 53. That's about as good as it gets, which says it all.
The only true standout, if you can even call it that, is a very brief window on the morning of Monday the 27th. The wind will be glassy from the SSE, and the swell will be a meager 1ft from the ESE. It's tiny, but with the glassy conditions, it might be the only rideable moment in the entire 16-day period. Bring a longboard or a foiler, and keep your expectations low.
This is just a blank run, which isn't unusual for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a solid skip.
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.
