The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn here at E-Bay. We’ve got a quiet start with nothing really happening on the surface for the first few days. Heading into the end of July, it’s pretty flat and blown out, so don’t get your hopes up. The real action doesn’t start to show until the first week of August, and that’s where we’ll get a few proper windows of clean, fun surf.
We’re looking at a run of near-daily improvement from Saturday, the 1st of August. That’s when the swell finally starts to build and the conditions clean up. The standout period is Saturday the 1st right through to Tuesday the 5th. The morning of Saturday the 1st is when it starts to get good – glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW swell. The energy is moderate but on the rise (664), and it’s going to be clean. The real gem looks like Sunday the 2nd morning – 4ft of S swell, glassy as a mirror, and a very long 19 second period. That’s proper groundswell, and combined energy is up to 905. This is a reef break, so that long period will line up beautifully. It’s best for advanced surfers, but is fairly consistent, and crowds are possible, so get in early.
Into the second week, Thursday the 6th morning looks a bit lumpy with a cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up with glassy conditions and a solid 4ft S swell. Then Friday the 7th brings a moderate offshore breeze from the NW – that’ll groom it nicely – with 3ft of S swell.
The best of the second week looks like Saturday the 8th afternoon. You’re looking at 4ft of S swell with a 17 second period pushing in, clean cross-offshore wind from the NE, and combined energy hitting 1014 – that’s strong. This is excellent for experienced surfers.
The water temperature is sitting around 86°F, which is about 1°F warmer than normal – pretty average for this time of year, nothing to stress about.
Overall, there are a few days to forget at the start, but don’t write it off. From the 1st through to the 8th, there’s some genuinely good clean surf to be had. Get on it.

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