Devereux Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Devereux over the next couple of weeks.

The overall picture is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We're not looking at any classic, pumping sessions, but there are a few windows that could be worth a paddle. The water is sitting at 66.7°F, which is a whopping 4.5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you'll be comfortable in a spring suit at most.

The first proper chance to get wet looks like Sunday the 19th. The morning is your best bet. We've got a clean 2.0ft groundswell from the SW with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (272), and with a light 6 mph SW wind blowing straight onshore, it should be glassy. It's a reef and point setup, so that long period energy will wrap in nicely. Keep in mind that crowds are a regular thing here, so get there early. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-onshore, making things a bit choppy, so the morning window is the one.

Monday the 20th is more of the same story. The morning offers a 2.6ft S swell with a period of 11 seconds and light onshore wind. The energy is moderate (288). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoons this week are all pretty much a write-off with the cross-onshore breeze.

The standout period, if you can call it that, builds towards the end of the month. From Monday the 27th all the way through to Wednesday the 29th, we see a consistent run of 2.3ft to 3.0ft SW/SSW swell, with light onshore winds in the mornings. The combined energy gets up to a strong 762 on the 27th morning, which is a decent bump. The period is around 17-19 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell. These are your best bets, but the catch is the conditions are only ever described as "marginal," so tide timing is going to be everything. The afternoon of the 28th also looks promising with a score of 2, so keep an eye on the midday window.

After that, we drop off into much smaller, weaker surf for the first few days of August. The first week of August sees a slight uptick on Saturday the 1st with a 4.3ft S swell and a period of 13 seconds, but the winds are light and cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. The energy is strong (637), but the quality is questionable.

To be honest, the real highlight is the stretch from the 27th to the 29th of July. Those mornings with 2.6ft to 3.0ft of long-period SW groundswell and light offshore winds offer the cleanest, most consistent ride. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got.
