The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Colombus. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a bit of a flat spell for the next little while. We're looking at a solid gap of about four days with nothing worth paddling out for, so don't be rushing to grab your board just yet.
Things start to get a tiny bit interesting on the morning of Friday, August 7th. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a moderate 109, with a small 3ft swell from the NE. The wind's light from the ENE, keeping things clean, but the conditions are still described as "very ordinary." It's surfable, but you won't be telling your mates about it.
The real standout, the one that's got my attention, is the afternoon of Thursday, August 13th. We see a bump in swell to 5ft from the NE, with a moderate combined energy of 144. It's a bit of a wait, but it's the best size on offer. The wind is from the E at 15 km/h, keeping it clean. Given it's a reef break, that NE swell is right in the direction it wants. Keep in mind, it's a good week away, so treat this as a promising one, not a guarantee.
For the rest of the run, it's small and inconsistent. The morning of Friday, August 14th has a glassy 2ft from the NE, and the afternoon of the 14th gets a clean 3ft with 105 combined energy, but that's about as good as it gets outside that Thursday afternoon. Most days are crossed off, small, or just plain flat. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
So, to wrap it up: don't hold your breath for the first few days. Mark your calendar for the afternoon of the 13th, and maybe keep an eye on the 14th. Otherwise, it's a quiet stretch.
Rusty.

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