The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the only wave in town for the next couple weeks – Floreat groyne. This is a beginner-friendly beach/groyne spot, fairly consistent, but we’ve got a mixed bag ahead. Water temp’s about 64°, pretty normal for this time of year, no drama.
Kicks off Sunday morning, August 30th. Solid 7ft swell from the WSW with a long 18-second period – proper groundswell, nice shape but longer waits between sets. The combined energy’s strong at 2383, and with a light cross-off breeze from the ENE at just 3 mph, it’ll be clean. This is the standout session, no question. Perfect for experienced surfers on a longboard or step-up. Sunday afternoon the wind swings onshore from the WSW, gets messy – skip it.
Monday the 31st is a total write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and chop. Tuesday the 1st of September morning offers a little hope – 5ft swell, 16-second period, light cross-shore wind, only small ripples. Combined energy’s moderate at 1342, rideable but not cracking – marginal.
Wednesday the 2nd stays marginal with 6ft swell and cross-onshore chop. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are blown out by strong winds. Friday afternoon, swell jumps to 12ft from the WSW – way too big for this break, even for experts, and the onshore wind makes it nasty.
Weekend of the 5th and 6th of September is a bust: Saturday has 8ft swell with 19 mph cross-onshore winds, Sunday the 6th has 12ft swell again with fresh cross-shore winds. Combined energy on Sunday hits 4338 and 3971 – powerful, but all too much for Floreat. More of a kite-surfing setup than paddle.
Second week starts with a tease. Monday the 7th of September morning is glassy, 12ft swell from the WSW at 17 seconds, highest combined energy at 7168. But it’s too big – expert only, and daunting. Tuesday the 8th morning is the second standout: 8ft swell, 16-second period, light cross-off breeze from the NNE at 9 mph, clean. Combined energy 2648 – strong but manageable for experienced surfers. This is your best bet in the second week.
Wednesday the 9th has a smaller 5ft swell with an offshore breeze Wednesday morning – clean but weak, combined energy only 943. Thursday the 10th morning picks up again with 7ft swell and a light cross-off breeze, clean and excellent. Friday the 11th has 7ft to 8ft swell but cross-onshore winds – marginal. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are blown out, swell drops to 6ft by Sunday afternoon.
Finally, Monday the 14th of September morning brings another gem: glassy conditions with 8ft WSW swell at 15 seconds, combined energy 2261, light air from the east. Clean, powerful, excellent for experienced surfers. After that, it fizzles.
Overall, best on offer is Sunday the 30th of August morning – clean, long-period groundswell, good size for anyone with skills. In the second week, Tuesday the 8th and Monday the 14th mornings are the ones to circle. Crowds are possible, so get in early. Not much for beginners here – most decent swell sits at 7ft or bigger.
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.

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.
