The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in with a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s been a bit of a slow starter, and there’s a lot of ordinary stuff to wade through before we see any real action.
At Chirimena, we’re lookin’ at a real mixed bag. For the first chunk of August, it’s pretty grim. The swell is hanging around the 4 ft to 5 ft mark, but the wind is mostly cross, cross-on, or just messy, which is turning what little potential there is into lumpy, choppy conditions. The wave energy is all over the shop, from a weak 91 to a moderate 159 at times, but it doesn’t matter much when the wind’s workin’ against ya. Most mornings are cleaner than the afternoons, but the swell is short-period stuff, around 6 to 7 seconds, so even when the wind is kind, the waves are weak and lackin’ any real push. There’s a gap of about a week and a half of just average to poor conditions.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit more interesting. The standout window starts to shape up from Friday, August 14th, through Monday, August 17th. The mornings are gonna be the key. We’ve got clean conditions with a gentle breeze, which is huge for getting proper waves. The swell is a touch bigger, sittin’ between 5 ft and 6 ft, and while it’s still short-period at 7 seconds, the combined energy jumps right up. We’re talking moderate to strong energy levels – 340, 262, 390, that’s real power in the water. That ENE direction is hitting the break well, but given the short period, it’ll be a bit dumpy and quick. Still, it’s the best on offer by a long shot.
If you’re an intermediate, you’ll be fine on the Thursday to Saturday mornings. The biggest days stand out on the 14th and 17th, where that 6 ft and 5 ft swell with clean, glassy conditions will deliver some fun ones. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, yeah, don’t quit your day job for the first 12 days, but pencil in those Friday, Saturday, and Monday mornings toward the end of the run for a proper go. It’s still a bit of a gamble this far out, but the signs are promising.
Rusty.

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