The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Floreat groyne.
Alright, we've got a solid run of size and consistency coming through, but it's a mixed bag with the wind. The water is sitting at 62°F, which is 4°F colder than usual for this time of year, so that's a notable chill – you'll want a thick steamer.
The pick of the entire 16-day window is Wednesday morning on the 5th of August. The swell is a groundswell from the WSW at 8ft with a very long 16-second period, pushing a heap of energy (2895). The wind is a light NNE cross-off breeze at 6 mph, which is going to leave the surface clean. This is excellent surf, but with that size and power, it's one for experienced surfers only. Wednesday afternoon on the 5th sees the wind turn onshore from the WSW at 6 mph and the swell jumps to 10ft, making it too big and messy for a good time.
Thursday the 6th is a write-off with increasing cross-on winds, and Friday the 7th is even worse with strong onshore winds and rain. Saturday the 8th is a complete mess with gale-force cross-on winds and a massive 13ft to 15ft swell – that's kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. Sunday the 9th has a morning window with a light cross-shore breeze and a 10ft, 17-second groundswell, but the conditions are listed as marginal, so it's a gamble.
The next standout is Wednesday morning the 12th of August. The swell drops to a more manageable 7ft, still a solid WSW groundswell with a 15-second period. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at 6 mph, promising clean conditions. Another excellent session for the experienced crew.
Then on Thursday morning the 13th of August, we have a near-calm wind from the ENE at just 3 mph, with a 7ft, 17-second groundswell. This is going to be glassy and clean, with that very long period meaning the waves will be packing a punch and well-shaped. Again, this is for the more capable surfer.
Friday morning the 14th of August offers similar conditions: a light NE cross-off breeze at 6 mph on a 7ft, 16-second WSW groundswell. Clean and good.
The real sleeper hit is Saturday morning the 15th of August. The swell drops to 6ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. This is the one for the biggest range of surfers. The swell is still solid enough to be fun, but not too intimidating, and the conditions will be pristine.
After that, the pattern breaks down. The following Monday (17th of August) has onshore wind, and by Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, it's a mess of strong cross-on winds and rain. The last decent window is Tuesday morning the 18th of August, with a light cross-off breeze and a 8ft, 16-second groundswell – another clean session for the experienced crowd.
So, to sum it up: the absolute best is Wednesday morning the 5th for the big, clean groundswell, and Saturday morning the 15th for the glassy, more user-friendly conditions. Don't sleep on the 13th either, that 17-second period is going to be special.
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.
