The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Dongara-Port Denison over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, but once the swell kicks in, there’s some proper grunt coming our way.
The first couple of days are a write-off. Sunday the 26th is a mess – small, weak, and chopped up by onshore wind. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is actually a bit colder than normal for this time of year (3° cooler), so you’ll want the thick rubber if you’re even thinking about that dribble.
Monday the 27th is where it all changes. We’ve got a solid 8 ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 14-second period. The combined energy of all swells is massive (2448), so there’s plenty of power. The wind is light and clean offshore from the SE. This is proper experienced surfer territory, and the reef at Dongara-Port Denison (Dongara-Port-Denison) will be handling that size well. This is a standout. The swell direction is a perfect match, and conditions will be glassy.
Tuesday the 28th keeps the momentum with 7 ft SW swell and a clean offshore E wind. Another cracker, but it’s still in that expert-only size range. By Wednesday the 29th, the swell backs off to 4 ft, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – seriously long lines. That’s a classic groundswell, and while it’s smaller, the shape will be fantastic on the reef with light ENE wind. This is a second standout.
There’s a bit of a lull towards the end of the week, with some marginal conditions and cross-onshore winds on the 30th and 31st. On Friday the 31st, the wind goes fully onshore and it’s a mess. Skip it.
Next weekend, Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd, we’re back in business. A solid 8 ft SW groundswell with clean, light offshore wind on Saturday morning. Sunday morning brings 7 ft and a gentle offshore E wind. Both days have that reef working clean.
The first week of August looks stacked. Monday the 3rd fades a little, but Tuesday the 4th pumps back up to 8 ft. The biggest highlight, though, is Thursday the 6th of August. We’re talking 10 ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, combined energy reading a massive 4190. The wind is gentle and offshore from the ESE. This is as good as it gets for experienced surfers, but it’s big – not one for beginners.
After that, the wind turns messy for the 7th and 8th, with strong onshore winds and even a risk of thunderstorms on the 8th. That’s a write-off. The tail end of the outlook, Monday the 10th of August, offers a decent 7 ft SW swell with clean cross-offshore wind. A good way to finish the run.
If you’re only picking two true standouts, it’s Monday the 27th for the clean, punchy start, and Thursday the 6th for the absolute peak in size and power. The reef is your friend here, especially with that long-period groundswell.
Stay safe, and don’t miss that Thursday session.
