Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what’s coming for your local spot.
Straight up, it’s grim reading. We’re looking at a long, dead stretch with zero decent waves. The first faint pulse shows up on Thursday morning, July 2nd, but don't get excited. We’re talking 1.0ft from the NNE, and the water is an unusually warm 79°, but with a cross-shore breeze, a combined energy of just 23, and the clear verdict of “poor surf conditions,” it’s a hard pass.
Everything after that is basically a ghost town. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – no swell, or just a tiny bump with trash wind. The combined energy values are all close to zero. This is a long dry spell.
There’s a little 0.7ft wave on Wednesday, July 8th, but with a combined energy of 3, it doesn’t count.
The biggest number we see all outlook comes on Thursday, July 16th: 3ft. But it’s short-period junk from the south at 5 seconds, a combined energy of just 27, and a cross-shore wind. It’s another “poor surf conditions” day. For the entire 16-day run, there is nothing I can point to and say “go there.” No standout, no hidden gem.
So I have to tell it like it is: there’s no good surf in this forecast. This area can go through quiet spells like this, and that’s exactly what we’ve got. Don't waste the gas. Keep an eye on it, because things can change, but for now, it’s a total blank.
Rusty.

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