Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Canova Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating outlook for Canova Beach for the next little while. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. From now through early July, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly rubbish. You're looking at a solid gap of several days with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for.
Things start to look a tiny bit more promising as we head into Wednesday the 8th of July. The morning shows a little bump of 2 ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SW, which will keep the surface clean. The combined swell energy is still weak at 65, so don’t expect much push, but it’s surfable. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offer similar early morning windows: small 2 ft ESE swells, light cross-offshore winds, and clean conditions. Again, combined energy stays weak (50 and 48), so it’s strictly for the longboard or the foamie. Not a standout, but you can get wet.
The real kicker in this whole 16-day run is looking like Saturday the 18th of July. The morning shows a jump to 4 ft from the E, with an 8-second period. The combined swell energy clocks in at 245, which is moderate energy. The wind is light and onshore from the E, which isn’t ideal, but the size is the best on offer by a long shot. It’s the only day where you’ll feel some real push, and for the experienced surfers, it might just be on. The short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and less defined, but it’s the most power we’ve seen. Unfortunately, the onshore wind will keep the surface a bit bumpy. If you're a beginner, 4 ft is fine, but with the onshore chop it might be a handful. This one is the only true standout in the whole run, but with it being so far out (Saturday the 18th of July), lock it in with a grain of salt.
Overall, don’t hold your breath for the first week and a half. The second week offers a glimmer of hope on the 18th, but it’s slim pickings. This stretch is just one of those quiet periods for the area.
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.
