Floreat groyne Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for the next stretch at Floreat groyne.

The week starts off with a pretty solid run of clean, rideable waves, but don't get too attached – there’s a fair bit of chop and wind later on. The best window for smooth, lined-up walls is Wednesday morning and afternoon, with a proper 5ft to 4ft swell from the WSW, and a gentle offshore breeze keeping the faces clean. That’s your standout. The combined energy is moderate at 717 and 877, and the period is a nice long 13 seconds, so there’s real push behind 'em. For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a sweet setup.

Tuesday morning is also a good shout with 5ft SW swell, but it’s cross-off with a light breeze, making it clean enough for a fun session. The energy is still moderate (624). Afternoon gets messy with a southerly wind. Thursday is solid again – offshore winds all day, 4ft to 4ft from the WSW, and a long 14 second period. The energy is moderate (672 and 515). Friday morning drops off a bit, but the afternoon cleans up for a sneaky late session.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, so a steamer is fine.

Saturday holds clean enough, but the swell is a bit weaker. Then Sunday the 26th rolls in with a jumpy 8ft swell from the WSW, but it’s short period, fat, and cross-onshore – lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling for the average surfer. Monday is more of the same with cross-onshore winds and chop.

Now, there’s a gap of a few days without a real standout, but hold tight. Tuesday the 28th brings a glassy morning with 5ft from the WSW and a 14 second period – that’s a real treat. Combined energy is 832, moderate. That’s the second highlight of the week.

After that, the wind starts to get rowdy again. Wednesday the 29th is clean but the swell is small. By Thursday the 30th, we’ve got thunderstorms and strong onshore winds, so stay out of the water. Friday the 31st has a 5ft W swell but the wind is howling, and it’s messy.

Moving into August, Saturday the 1st is a washout with rain and lumpy conditions. But Sunday the 2nd sees a jump to 10ft from the WSW – that’s solid, but the period is short (10 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a bit of a mess. Monday the 3rd has a massive 10ft groundswell (17 seconds!) but the wind is onshore, and the energy is strong (6056). That’s a beast – but it’s only for the brave and experienced. Tuesday the 4th cleans up nicely with a 7ft WSW swell at 15 seconds and a cross-off breeze – that’s a good one for the more skilled crew. Wednesday the 5th is the real standout for the second week: 7ft from the WSW, 15 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is 2721, which is strong. That’s an excellent session for experienced surfers.

So, if you’re a beginner, hit the early part of the week or the glassy Tuesday. If you’re experienced, mark your calendar for Wednesday the 5th of August.
