Farmer Burgers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Farmer Burgers over the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it's all going to come together.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Friday through to Monday the 14th is looking pretty average with lumpy, cross-shore winds and onshore chop. The water is a bit colder than normal at 58°, a full degree below the average for the time of year.

The first real standout isn't until Sunday the 13th in the morning. It's going to be glassy, dead calm, with a clean 5ft swell out of the WSW, the perfect direction for this reef break. The period is a solid 14 seconds, so there'll be proper groundswell energy rolling in. The combined energy is a decent 785, so there'll be enough push for some fun ones. If you can get out there early, that's the pick of the first week.

The second week is quieter overall, and there are a few flat days there with nothing worth getting excited about. But mark your calendar for Saturday the 19th in the morning. Another glassy morning, which is huge, with the same sweet 5ft WSW swell. The period is a touch shorter at 13 seconds, but with no wind, it'll be smooth as silk. The energy is sitting at 669, which is still good for this spot.

Then, looking further ahead, we’ve got another promising call for Monday the 21st in the morning. We're looking at a moderate offshore wind from the NE, 5ft swell from the WSW, and a period of 15 seconds. That's proper groundswell, and clean offshores will have it peeling nicely. The combined energy is strong at 1111, so there'll be some punch. It's a long way off, so don't hold me to it, but the bones of a good session are there.

There's a quieter gap between the 19th and the 21st, but then another little gem pops up on Friday the 25th in the morning. Gentle offshore breeze from the ENE, a clean 4ft WSW swell with a 12-second period. The energy is moderate at 503, but if the wind holds as forecast, it'll be a really pleasant, uncrowded session. It's a fairly consistent spot, so even when it's quiet, something often turns up.

All in all, the pick of the bunch is that glassy session on Sunday the 13th morning, with Saturday the 19th morning a close second. Don't sleep on the 21st if you're willing to roll the dice on a long-range call.

Rusty.
