Farmer Burgers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk Farmer Burgers for the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef spot, pretty consistent, exposed to the swell, so we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag comin’—some real gems and some days you’re better off stayin’ home.

Right now, Wednesday the 15th, the water’s at 57°F, about a degree and a half colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll feel it. Swell’s from the WSW at 4ft with a long 16-second period—real groundswell energy (927). But the wind’s cross-on from the SSW at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and not worth it.

Thursday the 16th morning, swell jumps to 6ft from the WSW at 13 seconds, energy at 1264—moderate to strong. Light cross-shore wind from the SSE at 6 mph keeps it rideable, but it’s still marginal.

Friday the 17th is small, Saturday the 18th morning you’ve got a glassy 3ft WSW swell at 10 seconds—weak energy (197) but clean as glass. Longboard territory.

Sunday the 19th, winds pick up and it’s a mess.

Monday the 20th morning, glassy again with a 2ft SW swell at 11 seconds, weak (214). “Expect good surf conditions” says the file, so it’s a little window but tiny.

Now Tuesday the 21st morning—this is where it gets real. Swell hits 5ft from the SW at 14 seconds, energy at 1030, and we’ve got a clean offshore wind from the N at 9 mph. That’s the pick of the first week, no doubt. Clean lines, solid size for intermediates.

Wednesday the 22nd afternoon, swell blows up to 10ft from the WSW at 13 seconds, massive energy (2931). Winds are gentle cross-on, but the file says it’s too big for this break. Experts only.

Thursday the 23rd morning, 10ft at 15 seconds, energy at 3749—very strong, very long period. Clean cross-off wind from the NNW at 12 mph, but again, too big. Leave it for the die-hards.

From Friday the 24th to the 28th, it settles to 5–6ft but winds are often cross-on and lumpy. Standout is Saturday the 25th morning: 7ft from WSW at 14 seconds, offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph—clean, punchy, and excellent for experienced surfers.

Monday the 29th morning, a light SE breeze at 3 mph gives us clean 6ft WSW swell at 12 seconds—very good to finish off the month.

Best bets? Tuesday the 21st morning for clean, fun waves, and Saturday the 25th morning for the experienced crowd on a clean, solid swell. The rest is hit or miss.

Rusty.
