The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Floreat groyne. This forecast is all about finding the small, clean windows between the big, messy swells.
There are a few days of rough, blown-out surf to start, so you’ll have to be patient. Water temp is 63°F, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year, so a steamer is a must.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 7th has an 8ft WSW swell, but it’s cross-on and rainy. Saturday the 8th is bigger and worse, with 15ft of swell and strong winds making a mess of things. The wave energy is strong, hitting 7816, but it’s all for nothing without clean conditions. Sunday the 9th is still junky and marginal.
Monday the 10th is another mess, and then things really pick up. On Tuesday the 11th, we have a huge 15ft WSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The energy is massive at over 10000. It’s big, it’s powerful, but it’s just too big for this spot, so it's only for the brave.
Your two best bets are the mornings of the 12th and the 14th. On Wednesday the 12th, the swell drops to a clean 7ft WSW, the wind goes glassy, and it’s game on for the experienced crew. Then, on Friday the 14th, there’s a light cross-off wind and a clean 7ft WSW swell with a long 16-second period. It’s a proper window of quality.
The middle of the month runs into another stretch of big, unsurfable swells, with 12ft waves and strong winds on the 17th and 18th. It doesn’t look good. The following week, Thursday the 20th has some overhead waves but is a bit onshore, and the morning of Saturday the 22nd looks like the last clean opportunity, with a glassy 6ft WSW swell and light winds.
So there you have it. Set your alarm for Wednesday the 12th and Friday the 14th, and pray you’re not at work. For the rest, it's a lean couple of weeks.
Rusty.

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