Deveraux Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Well, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch out there for the next week or so, mate. We’ve got some small, weak swell rolling in but nothing that’s gonna get the heart racing just yet. The water’s sitting right around 19°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The waves are small – think knee to waist high at best – and the periods are short, mostly in that 4 to 9 second range, so there’s not much punch or shape to them. It’s mostly clean with light winds, but it’s just not doing much.

Come Sunday the 13th, we’ve got a bit of cross-shore breeze and tiny 0.6m waves from the southeast, but it’s pretty grovelly. The energy’s weak – only around 23 on the scale – so it’s not really worth getting wet unless you’re desperate.

Monday the 14th is cleaner with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops back to 0.4m and the period’s a bit better at 9 seconds, but still small. Same story Tuesday – tiny 0.2m waves, clean but weak. It’s a lot of nothing, really.

We do see a little bump Wednesday the 16th, but the wind’s onshore and it’s messy. Not good.

Thursday the 17th looks like the best of the early week – light offshore wind, clean faces, but still only 0.4m. It’s surfable if you’ve got a foamie and just want to get in the water, but it’s not turning any heads.

We’re in a real dry spell here. From the 13th through the 24th, it’s consistently small and weak. A few days with 0.2m waves, some with 0.4m, and the energy readings are just pathetic – mostly in the teens and twenties. It’s a long stretch of nothing, mate.

Then, hold on. Around Friday the 25th, things start to wake up. We get a pulse of 1.1m swell from the east with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps up to 165 – that’s a real sign of life. The winds are cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but there’s finally some push. Saturday the 26th is better – 0.9m from the east, but the wind turns cross-offshore, and the energy is still solid at 123-126. It’s clean, and it’s surfable. Not epic, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.

Sunday the 27th drops back down a bit – 0.5m, but still clean with cross-offshore winds. It’s more of the same, but the kicker is Monday the 28th. We see that morning with light offshore winds and 0.2m, but then in the afternoon, it jumps to 0.7m from the south with a short 4-second period and a bit of onshore wind. Not great.

So, the standout here is Saturday the 26th. It’s not massive, but it’s the cleanest, most consistent wave of the whole period. The swell direction is from the east, which is what this break likes, and the energy is moderate. It’s a good day to get out if you can. Just don’t expect barrels – this is more about fun little walls and getting some glide.

For the rest of the time, it’s mostly a waste of a wetsuit. A few days have that offshore clean look, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. Bring a book, maybe.
