Deveraux Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Devereaux Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the pattern’s a tough one. The first decent bit of surfable energy doesn't show until Thursday the 17th of September, with clean but marginal waves. Before that, it’s a long dry spell running from now through Wednesday the 16th – nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting close to average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Okay, so Sunday morning the 6th gave us a clean option with a gentle offshore breeze from the north and 4ft of 7-second windswell from the east-northeast, energy reading (126) – but the afternoon goes to crap with a cross-onshore switch. That morning session was the only real bright spot in the first several days. Then it’s flat and messy all the way through until the 17th.

Now, the real standout comes on Friday the 18th. That morning we’ve got 8ft of east swell, 7-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the east-northeast. Energy jumps to (554). By the afternoon, it’s even better – same height, same direction, period stretching to 8 seconds, and energy hits (699). That’s powerful, clean surf. But here’s the thing – at 8ft, this is expert territory. If you’re a beginner, sit this one out. The east-northeast swell aligns pretty well with what this reef setup likes. Expect a proper, solid groundswell look, though the period isn’t super long. Sets will have punch.

Saturday the 19th holds clean waves too – 5ft morning, 5ft afternoon, both from the east with 9 and 10-second periods. Energy’s still solid (440 and 423). But the wind picks up to a moderate breeze from the northeast. It’ll be a bit bumpy, and the quality drops off a notch. This is still a good session for stronger surfers.

The following days fade quickly. By Sunday the 20th, it’s dropping back to chest-high slop with onshore wind. The window’s been and gone.

Best bets? Friday the 18th is your day. The morning session is probably the pick for true experts, but the afternoon’s got an extra bit of period and even more energy. Saturday the 19th is a solid follow-up if you’re after a longer weekend of it. Keep an eye on the crowds for Devereaux Beach – they show up sometimes, but with the size and conditions, it might thin out a bit.

Rusty.
