The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this outlook is a tough one. For the next 16 days, Devereaux Beach is giving us almost nothing to work with. The surf is tiny, disorganised, and the wind is often working against us. There’s a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, so don’t expect any waves for the first week and a half. The only real glimmer comes right at the end of the window, but it’s a long wait.
Starting off, Sunday the 16th of August is a no-go with 0.3ft surf and a light cross-shore breeze. Monday the 17th brings light rain and a knee-high 2ft swell from the south, but the wind is onshore and messy. The whole week follows the same pattern – tiny waist-high waves at best, often with onshore or cross-shore winds keeping things choppy and unappealing. The swell energy is weak, rarely breaking past three-digit figures, with the highest reading around 87 on Tuesday the 18th afternoon. That’s nowhere near enough to get excited about.
The water temperature at Devereaux Beach is 69°F, which is normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The only standout, and I’m using that term loosely, comes on Thursday the 27th of August. The morning session shows a 3ft swell from the ENE with a light offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 103, and the wind is clean. That’s the best you’ll get in this entire forecast – a waist-high wave with offshore conditions. Devereaux Beach is a beginner-friendly reef break, and while it’s fairly consistent, it’s rarely pumping. This swell is small and short-period (6 seconds), so it’s really only for longboards or foamies. Expect some crowds, as it’s a spot that can get busy. The afternoon goes south with a cross-onshore wind kicking up chop, so get in early.
After that, Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are back to small, weak surf, and the rest of the month into August 31st stays flat and uninspiring. Honestly, this stretch looks more suited to a swim than a paddle. If you’re desperate, set your alarm for the 27th morning, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
