The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm gonna level with you. The forecast for the next couple of weeks is a slow grind. We've got a lot of flat, nothingburger days before we see a couple of faint pulses.
The first week, from Tuesday the 14th all the way through Sunday the 20th, is mostly a washout. Tiny waves with the wind in the wrong spot or just messy conditions. The wave energy is mostly weak, barely getting into the triple digits.
The one window that's got my attention is the morning of Monday the 20th. Devereux is looking like it might be the spot. The wind is forecast to go glassy, dead calm – that's a huge deal. You're looking at a clean 2ft wave from the SSW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, it'll have some shape, but at that size, it's friendly for everyone. The water temp is about 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is a moderate 301, which is about all we're going to get.
Heads up, though: Devereux can get crowded "often," and if that glassy morning shows up, you'll have company. But for a clean wave on a reef and point, it's worth it.
After that, it's back to the waiting room. The next chance is the morning of Friday the 24th of July. Another glassy morning at Devereux, this time with a bit more size – 3ft from the S, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 527, way more punch. But again, the wind is only good in the morning, turning cross-onshore by the afternoon. That morning window is your only shot, and it's over a week and a half away, so it's promising but not a lock.
Look, for this area, a blank run is pretty normal. The swell windows are small and the wind is finicky. So mark your calendar for the morning of the 20th, and keep an eye on the 24th. That's the best we've got.
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.
