Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
It's a tough outlook, no two ways about it. We're looking at a solid ten-day flat spell at Crystals. From now until around the 13th of July, the waves are just not cooperating. Tiny swell, dodgy wind, or both. On the 13th of July, Monday morning, there's a tiny glimmer: a 3ft south swell with clean light offshore wind from the southwest, and the energy is weak (67). It's not a classic, but it's the first thing that's worth even a glance.
After that, from the 14th of July, it's back to ankle-biters with strong offshore breezes – looks clean but there's no power. The next small possibility is on the 20th of July, Monday morning, with a 3ft east-northeast swell, clean conditions, and moderate energy (79). Again, it's 'surfable but ordinary', so don't get too excited.
Water temp on the 5th of July is a warm 77°F, which is a huge 6°F above the norm for this time of year. That's very unusual.
No real standout sessions here. The 13th and 20th of July mornings are your best bets, but they're not worth driving for. A long, slow stretch.
Rusty.

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