The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Caspar Creek over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest.

Looking at the pattern, we've got some serious size rolling in, but it's going to be a battle with the wind for most of the time. The water is sitting at 55°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a good wetsuit. The combined swell energy values are all over the shop, from moderate to extremely powerful, but the problem is the wind is rarely playing nice.

The opening of the month sees a big pulse of swell. Saturday the 1st has a 10ft NW swell with a short 8-second period, but a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore wind is going to make it a lumpy, blown-out mess. The wave energy is massive (1016), but it's not for paddle surfing. It's a write-off. Sunday the 2nd is similar, with size up to 13ft and energy hitting (2387) in the afternoon, but still a moderate cross-onshore. This is more of a kite surfer's dream than a surfer's.

We finally get a tiny window of hope. The standout moment of the whole outlook is Tuesday afternoon on the 4th. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the NW (9 seconds), but the magic is that glassy wind. It'll be clean, and while the wave energy is moderate at (591), the conditions will make it feel way better than the numbers suggest. That's the session to target if you can.

Wednesday the 5th afternoon is a close second – another afternoon of glassy conditions with a 5ft NW swell (8-second period, energy at 412). Perfect for a longboard or a funboard.

After that, it’s a long, frustrating run. From Thursday the 6th right through to Sunday the 16th, it’s mostly poor surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There is a huge spike in swell again around Monday the 10th, with a 13ft NW swell and energy screaming at (2894), but it’s accompanied by a 12 mph cross-onshore. The setup is just too messy. While there's a slight improvement on Tuesday the 11th morning, with a 10ft NW swell and light onshore wind (2955 energy), the forecast is only "marginal." It’s going to be a big, unruly beast for experts only, and the wind will probably ruin it.

The long-range forecast into the second week is meager. By Friday the 14th, the swell bottoms out to a tiny 3ft from the WNW with a very long 15-16 second period, but still with onshore wind. That long period might make it straight and close out at the beach. There’s a slight bump back up to 6ft on Sunday the 16th, but again the wind is on it.

Overall, if you're looking to get wet, your best bet is to aim for the glassy windows on Tuesday 4th afternoon and Wednesday 5th afternoon. The rest of the run is either too big and windy, or too small and windy. Don't get your hopes up for the second week.

Rusty.

Information about the Caspar Creek Surf forecast

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