Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the local line-up. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Fish Boma over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a solid run of waves ahead, but it's not all smooth sailing. The water temp's sittin' around 62°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises in the wetsuit department.

The first real standout jumps off the page for Friday the 10th of July. We're talking a solid 10ft of SSW groundswell, with a long 13-second period. That's proper energy (2773), and the wind is glassy. This one's for experienced surfers though, as that size and power will be too much for the groms. It's an exposed reef break, so it'll be handling that swell real well, but expect it to be a bit of a handful and potentially busy.

The window then settles into a nice rhythm. Saturday the 11th holds onto 8ft SSW swell, still with a good 12-second period, and we get cross-off winds and clean conditions. Sunday morning the 12th drops a touch to 5ft, still clean, but the energy is backing off. We get a bit of a lull in the middle of the week, with smaller, weaker swell and some onshore wind messing things up.

But then, here we go again. Things fire back up big time. Thursday the 16th sees another big pulse of SW groundswell, 10ft with a 14-second period, and the energy reading is massive at 3057. The wind is a bit cross-on though, so it won't be pristine. As we get into the second week, Friday the 17th afternoon shapes up nicely with 8ft and glassy conditions. Then Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th hold in the 6ft to 7ft range with clean conditions. The real standout to circle on your calendar is Thursday the 23rd of July. That morning brings a solid 8ft of SW groundswell, 13-second period, and cross-off wind. It packs a punch at 2577 energy, and the wind will have it looking clean. That's the session to aim for, but like any good long-range call, keep an eye on it.

So, Friday the 10th and Thursday the 23rd are your top-tier tickets for the serious surfers. Everything else in between is worth a paddle, but those two are the standouts. Good luck out there.

Rusty.

Information about the Fish Boma Surf forecast

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