The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next couple weeks for County Line.
Right off the bat, I gotta say, it’s a rough stretch. The first few days are a real struggle. We’ve got small swell and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind, so the surf is pretty poor. Wednesday morning July 29th is a no-go, with a weak 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds and a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy. The water is way warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°F with a big anomaly of 8°F, which is definitely unusual.
Thursday July 30th afternoon sees a little bump in energy – the swell picks up to 4ft from the S at 14 seconds, but it’s crossed up by a WNW wind, so it’s still messy. That 604 combined energy is moderate, but the conditions just don’t line up. Friday July 31st is similar, with a 4ft S swell in the morning that’s light cross-onshore, only a 1/10.
Then we hit a real flat spell. From Saturday August 1st all the way through to Sunday August 9th, the swells drop to 2ft to 2ft at best. The combined energy dips into the double digits, like 87 on Sunday August 2nd morning, or 76 that afternoon. That’s weak, weak energy. You’re looking at a solid week or more of barely anything worth paddling out for. The wind is occasionally light and offshore but the swell just isn’t there.
The first real standout, and it’s more of a long-range hope, is on Monday August 10th morning. We’ve got 2ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, combined energy of 279 (moderate), and the wind is light cross-onshore out of the WSW. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while. Still, don’t expect much.
Later on, Thursday August 13th morning shows a 2ft SW swell at 16 seconds with a light cross-onshore breeze, and a combined energy of 314 – that’s the highest moderate reading in the whole run. But again, it’s small and the conditions are just okay. Nothing is firing.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a day to get wet, the best bet is Monday August 10th morning. It’s not epic, but it’s the least bad option. The rest of the time, the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the light to moderate cross-shore winds and tiny waves.
That’s the outlook. It’s not a good run, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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