The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna break down what we’ve got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a long, lean stretch ahead at Caspar Creek. The next week is pretty much a write-off from the get-go, with a real run of nothing doing. The outlook kicks off Monday the 31st, but it’s not a pretty picture. Expect poor surf conditions well into the first few days of September with messy, cross-onshore winds and weak swell. The water’s sitting at 55°, which is a bit colder than what you’d normally expect for this time of year.
The morning of Thursday the 3rd of September offers the first proper glimpse of hope. We’re talking about surfable waves with clean conditions under light cross-offshore wind. Swell is 5ft from the WNW, with a moderate combined swell energy (351). It’s not a standout, but it’s a break in the clouds.
The real standout happens on the afternoon of Monday the 7th of September. The wind goes completely glassy, and the swell kicks to 7ft from the NW. Combine that with strong combined swell energy (560), and you’ve got the best conditions on offer for the entire period. The wave direction is right on the money for Caspar Creek. This is a proper window for getting some clean ones.
After that, the swell stays meaty for a few days, but the wind churns back onshore, turning that potential into a lumpy mess. By the end of the second week, we’re back to choppy cross-on conditions and heights dropping off again. That Monday the 7th is your day if you can make it work.
Stay patient.
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.
