G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Cimaja.
The next couple of days are a bit of a slow start. Sunday the 12th is a write-off, with a tiny 3ft to 3ft south-west swell and a cross-onshore wind making things a bit bumpy. Not worth paddling out for.
Things start to turn around on Monday morning the 13th. The wind goes glassy, and even though the swell is only 2ft, it's a proper long-period groundswell at 21 seconds. The energy is moderate (833), and those long, clean lines will be a treat for the experienced surfer on a bigger board. It's a bit inconsistent with that long period, but the quality will be there.
Tuesday the 14th is a standout. The morning brings a clean 6ft south-west swell with glassy conditions. The period is a solid 17 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 2066 (moderate wave energy). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – powerful, lined-up waves on the reef. The wind is dead calm, so it'll be a beautiful session.
The pattern holds with clean, glassy mornings through the rest of the week. Wednesday the 15th has a 5ft swell with onshore wind, but Thursday the 16th morning is back to glassy conditions with a 4ft swell. Friday the 17th morning is another cracker: a 5ft south-west swell, glassy, with good energy (1015). This is excellent for experienced surfers again.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees a bigger pulse of swell. Sunday the 19th afternoon has a 7ft south-west swell, and Monday the 20th morning gets up to 8ft. These are getting big – over 8ft is expert-only territory. The wind is cross-shore, so it won't be as clean as the earlier mornings, but the energy is very strong (2802). This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with the strong cross-shore winds.
The following week is a mixed bag. There's a decent 6ft south-west swell on Tuesday the 21st morning, but with a cross-onshore wind. The real standout is Sunday the 26th of July, with a 6ft south-west swell, glassy wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate (1496). Then Monday the 27th morning is also glassy with a 5ft to 5ft south-west swell. That's a promising end to the forecast.
Overall, the best surf is on Tuesday the 14th and Friday the 17th of July mornings, with glassy conditions and solid, long-period groundswell. The bigger pulses later in the month are for experts only, and the wind makes them less clean.
Rusty.

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