Fairhaven Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The long-range charts are showing us a proper little window, but you gotta be patient. There’s a bit of a wait before the ocean sorts itself out.

We start off with a slow burn. The first few days are pretty grim—the swell is soft and the wind’s messy. It’s not worth getting wet for. We're looking at a few days of this nothingness, so don't stress about missing anything. Just keep an eye on the tide charts and wait for things to clean up.

The real action kicks off on Wednesday the 12th. The ocean just switches on. We’ve got a solid push of southwest swell showing up, with the energy jumping way up (8972). The morning is still a bit cross, but the afternoon is the one. The swell is packing a punch at a solid 13.1 ft. This is too big for the beginners, for sure, but the better surfers are going to be having a proper session. The wind is favorable and the waves are going to be thumping.

Thursday the 13th is still strong, holding that size and energy (5437, 5669). The wind stays favorable and it’s looking like another standout day. If you missed Wednesday, Thursday morning is your next best bet. These are the days you circle on the calendar.

After that, it starts to ease off. The swell backs down from that peak, and the wind turns a bit onshore and choppy. Friday and Saturday are on the messy side, so not the pick of the week.

But then, keep an eye on Monday the 17th. The ocean gets clean again. The wind goes glassy, and the energy is still there. It’s a smaller, cleaner wave compared to the big mid-week stuff. This is a much friendlier size for a broader crew, and the conditions are looking nice and clean.

Following that, we get another stretch of clean, fun-sized swell through the 18th and 19th. Smaller, but with those clean offshore winds, the banks will be working.

From the 20th onwards, the swell fades. There’s still some waves, but it loses its punch and the winds get more variable. The last few days of the window, especially the 23rd and 24th, look like they’ll be blown out and messy. The energy just isn't there anymore.

So, to sum it up: the standouts are the big, powerful, clean days on the 12th and 13th. If you want to avoid the crowd, the smaller, glassy day on the 17th is the hidden gem. Everything else is just making up the numbers.

Alright, I’m out of here. Keep it salty.
