The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the surf outlook for Chirimena. This is a beach and reef set-up that’s fairly consistent, but honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty ordinary for paddle surfing. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern for the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’ve got a lot of cross and cross-onshore wind, choppy conditions, and weak, short-period swell. The energy is mostly weak to moderate, with readings in the low hundreds, like 103 on the Saturday morning or 164 on Monday the 10th. It’s just not doing anything for us. The swell is small, mostly around the 3ft to 5ft mark, and the period is a junky 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just wind slop.
There’s a gap of nothing worth paddling out for from now all the way through to the morning of Thursday, August 14th. That morning shows a slight bump in size to 6ft, with 297 energy, but the call is still marginal, and the cross-onshore wind will make it messy. Not your day.
But hold on. The real standout in this whole window is the morning of Saturday, August 15th. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NE with a 12-second period, and the energy is a powerful 1213. That’s a proper pulse of groundswell. The wind is ESE, which is cross-offshore, and the report says it’s clean. This is the day to be out there. It’s a bigger swell, so it’s not for the beginners, but for the intermediate crew, this is the pick of the fortnight. The long period might make it a bit walled at the beach, but the reef sections should handle it well.
After that, the 16th and 17th drop back into the ordinary category, with smaller, weaker swell. The morning of Monday, August 18th has another pulse, 6ft with 338 energy and clean cross-off wind, but the period drops back to 7 seconds, so it won't have the same punch or shape as the 15th. It’s surfable, but not the standout.
The following week settles back into the same old story – small, weak, and cross-onshore. The 22nd has a clean morning with 5ft but it’s just ordinary. Honestly, the 15th is your day. Get on it.

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.
