The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a decent look at Floreat over the next sixteen days – some proper windows and a few that are best left for the kite crew. Let’s talk it through.
The first one to pencil in is Saturday, August 29. Morning brings a 3ft WSW groundswell with a very long 19-second interval, and a 25 km/h ESE offshore wind. Clean lines, weak combined energy of 625. That afternoon, the same swell runs 5ft from the WSW, still clean with cross-off wind, and the energy steps up to 1518. Not a standout, but it’s a start.
Then Sunday, August 30, early morning: that’s your highlight. 7ft of WSW swell, 18-second period, glassy wind from the NE at 3 mph. Combined energy of 2383, water temp around 64°, pretty average for this time of year. It’s clean and powerful – perfect for experienced surfers. Crowds are sometimes here, so expect some company. That’s the best session of the whole run.
After Sunday, it goes ugly. Onshore winds, messy conditions from Monday through to Saturday, September 5 – that’s a six-day stretch of poor to blown-out surf, with a few big windswell days. Thursday, September 3, holds 7ft from the WSW but with cross-shore chop.
Sunday, September 6, early morning offers a clean 7ft W swell with a 14-second period and cross-off wind. Combined energy 1575. Decent, but not top shelf.
Tuesday, September 8, early morning is your second standout: 4ft from the WSW at 14 seconds, dead calm and glassy. Combined energy 852, moderate. Perfect for a fun, clean session with no wind. Beginner-friendly size.
Later in the week, Thursday, September 10, 4.5m (15ft) from the WSW at 17 seconds but with strong cross-onshore winds – blown out, massive energy of 10982. That’s only for experts or kite surfers.
Saturday, September 12, early morning, 7ft from the WSW, glassy with light wind, combined energy 2082 – another good session for experienced surfers.
Best on offer: Sunday, August 30, early morning – 7ft, glassy, clean. Secondary pick: Tuesday, September 8, early morning – 4ft, calm and glassy.
Rusty out.

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.
