Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming down the line for Devereux.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet. We’ve got a long patch of small, weak surf, and most of it is wrapped up in onshore or cross-onshore breezes. You won't be missing much for the first week. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time, so at least it’ll be comfortable waiting for something to happen.
That first real moment of interest doesn’t roll in until the morning of Thursday, July 9th. We start to see a shift with a 4ft swell from the WNW, and the wind is straight offshore from the WSW at only 6 mph. That’s clean, and the combined wave energy is moderate (602). This is your best chance of the whole outlook—tiny but tidy.
The afternoon of that same day actually sees the swell jump to 7ft from the same direction, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds, making it a bit lumpy and disorganised. That’s really only one for the experts, and even then, the cross-onshore wind will mess with it. The morning session is the one to aim for.
After that, it's back to the small stuff. The following Wednesday afternoon, July 15th, shows a small reprieve with a 3ft WNW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph. The conditions would be clean, but it’s just not got any power behind it.
Overall, this is a period for small boards and low expectations. The only true standout is the morning of July 9th. Mark it in your calendar, because after that, we’re back to waiting.
Rusty.

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