The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down what we’ve got coming up for Devereux over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and quiet run, so keep your expectations low.
We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions right through the first week. The best we get is a bit of waist-high swell from the WNW, but the quality is just not there. The water is remarkably warm right now, coming in at 69° – that’s 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’ll be sweating in a spring suit.
The first real standout in the whole outlook is a very brief window on Friday morning, August 7th. The wind goes glassy, light offshore from the SSW, and the swell is a tiny 1ft from the SW with a very long period of 19 seconds. This is a long-period groundswell, which means clean, lined-up waves, but the energy is weak (154). At a reef and point setup like Devereux, that long period could actually produce some surprisingly fun, tidy little waves. But it’s going to be inconsistent and the size is tiny.
After that, it’s back to mostly poor conditions. The wind stays light, mostly onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a small uptick in energy around the 14th and 15th of August, with a moderate combined energy reading (335 on the 14th afternoon, 331 on the 15th afternoon), but the wind is cross-onshore and the swell is still small at 2ft to 2ft. This is marginal at best.
To be honest, if you’re not a patient soul, this stretch looks like a write-off. The only real “maybe” is that glassy Friday morning, and even that is a long shot for a paddle. The setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days with a bit more breeze.
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.
