Fitzroy Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a window of some pretty solid, long-period groundswell hitting Fitzroy Beach, with the best conditions locking in over the next few days and then again towards the end of the second week. The water temp is sitting right around average for now, so nothing weird there.

The first real standout kicks off on Sunday morning, the 16th. We’re looking at a solid 8.2ft swell out of the WSW, with a very long 16-second period. There’s a fresh offshore breeze keeping things clean, and the wave energy is right up there (3282). This one’s got some punch, but it’s not so big that it’s only for experts—intermediate surfers will have a ball. The direction is a perfect match for the break too. Crowds are often a thing here, so get in early.

Monday morning, the 17th, drops to a still rippable 4.9ft under a moderate cross-offshore breeze. Clean, but not quite the power of the day before. By Tuesday morning, the 18th, the wind goes nearly glassy with a slight air, and the 4.6ft WSW swell still has that nice 14-second period. It’s clean and tidy, but the energy is getting lower (765). Tuesday afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore, so stick to the mornings.

Wednesday the 19th is a real gem. Morning has a light cross-off breeze on a 5.2ft swell (1221), but the afternoon goes totally glassy—just a 3.9ft, 16-second WSW groundswell rolling in. That’s the kind of silky, clean session you dream about.

Thursday morning the 20th is dead glassy again with a 5.2ft swell. Smooth as. After that, things go a bit pear-shaped from Friday the 21st through to Sunday the 23rd, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell gets bigger—up to 9.8ft on Sunday the 23rd—but with 30 km/h winds and rain, it’s a write-off for surfing. That time might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

We get a bit of a reset on Tuesday the 25th. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze on a 7.2ft swell (2770), but the real headline is Tuesday afternoon. You’ve got a gentle offshore wind, a 8.2ft WSW swell with a 15-second period, and the wave energy is massive (3072). That one’s marked for experienced surfers for good reason—it’s going to be powerful and clean, a proper standout.

Wednesday the 26th stays clean with a smaller 5.9ft option, but then the end of the month gets a bit trashy again until Sunday the 30th. That Sunday afternoon sees a glassy little 2.6ft cleanup, and Monday the 31st gives you a gentle offshore on a 3.6ft, 16-second swell—small, but clean and long-period for a cruisy session.

So the two big ones to circle on the calendar are Sunday morning the 16th for the first real hit, and Tuesday afternoon the 25th for that epic combination of size, period, and offshore wind. The rest is a mix of smaller clean windows and some blown-out days.

Stay stoked, catch you in the water.
