The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Well, I've had a good long squiz at the charts for Deveraux Beach, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough outlook. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first two weeks are a write-off for any sort of decent paddle. There’s a massive gap from now all the way through to the last week of August with nothing worth getting wet for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions" until we hit the morning of the 27th.
So, what's the story? For the entire first stretch, from Wednesday the 12th of August through to Wednesday the 26th, you’re looking at flat, weak energy readings—we're talking single-digit to low two-digit energy values, like 8, 9, 14. The swell is barely a ripple, mostly under 2 ft, and the direction is all over the shop. Even on the few mornings we get a clean, glassy look, like Thursday morning the 13th with a light SW breeze at 3 mph, there’s just no push. It’s a frustrating run of nothing.
Now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The standout—the only real highlight in the entire run—is the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. This is where things finally line up. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the ENE, with a solid moderate wave energy reading of 677. That’s proper grunt for a reef break like Deveraux. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NE at 9 mph, so it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is a morning for the experienced crew—that 6 ft is pushing into the too-big-for-beginners zone, but for anyone who knows the reef, it’s going to be firing. The water temp is sitting at 71° which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.
The afternoon of the same day gets a bit messier with a cross-shore ESE breeze and the energy drops to 260, but if you’ve got a window, that morning session is the one to chase. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Deveraux, so with a quality window like that, expect company.
Other than that single Thursday morning, there’s nothing else on the cards. For the rest of the period, the conditions are either too small, too windy, or just plain poor. It’s a tough stretch, but that one morning on the 27th looks genuinely good.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecast; things can always change.
Rusty.

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