The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ll keep it real – this is a tough stretch for Canova Beach. The forecast is lookin’ flat for a long, long time with only weak energy and ordinary conditions. We got a real dry spell coming.
For the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. From Tuesday, July 14th all the way through to Saturday, July 25th, there just ain't any decent surf on offer. Day after day, the swell stays tiny – mostly around 0.7ft to 1.0ft – with very low combined energy, mostly under 30. The mornings do offer some cleaner conditions with light or glassy winds, like that glassy spell on Thursday the 16th, but there’s just no power in the water to ride.
It ain’t until the morning of Saturday, July 25th that we finally see somethin’ a bit more promising. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the E with an 11 second period, and the combined energy hits a moderate 74. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so conditions will be clean. This is the best we’re gonna see in this outlook, but honestly, it’s still small and ordinary – just surfable. The afternoon turns messy again with onshore wind, so if you’re goin’, make it a dawn patrol.
Now, the followin’ week stays stubbornly lackluster. The morning of Monday, July 27th starts glassy again, but with a tiny 1ft ESE swell and only 24 energy, it ain’t worth gettin’ excited about. More of the same weak, short-period swell dominates right through to Wednesday, July 29th, with onshore winds messin’ up afternoons.
The one positive is that the break is fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this poor forever – forecasts can change. But for now, this run is lookin’ long and blank.
Signin’ off,
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.
