The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and knots for those who think in those numbers.
We’ve got a solid 16-day window at Floreat groyne, but don’t rush out. This is a waiting game, with the first real standouts around mid-week and another into the second week.
The water is sitting at 64°F – about 2°F colder than usual for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is a must.
First few days – Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th – the swell is pumping between 7 and 8 feet, with a long-period groundswell (13-17 seconds) from the WSW. Combined energy is strong, between 2220 and 3161, but a cross-off wind at 13-16 knots is keeping it from being clean. Marginal quality.
Things improve on Wednesday the 9th. The afternoon is the first real highlight: 6 feet of WSW groundswell with a 15-second period and a moderate offshore wind. Combined energy is still a strong 1471. Excellent for experienced surfers, but the 6 feet is doable for confident intermediates. This is one of the better windows.
Thursday the 10th is smaller at 4-5 feet with a cross-off breeze, and Friday the 11th is a write-off with a cross-on wind.
The next standout is Monday the 14th. We’ve got 7 feet of solid WSW groundswell with a 14-second period and combined energy of 1969. The wind? Absolutely glassy. Zero knots. The break will be clean as a whistle, but 7 feet is expert-only. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session. With the long period, the sets might wall up a bit on a beach/groyne, but the clean conditions make it special. Crowds are *sometimes* a thing here, so expect a few.
Tuesday the 15th morning is also very good. Swell drops to 6 feet, still a 14-second period, and glassy again. Combined energy is 1127. This is a far more friendly size for intermediates. A great session.
After that, the wind turns onshore and quality drops. Monday the 21st sees a huge spike in energy (4071) with 7-8 feet of swell, but onshore winds at 19 knots turn it into a mess. That’s kite-surfing weather, not for a paddle board.
So: Wednesday afternoon the 9th is your first call. But the true standout is Monday the 14th – glassy, powerful, and for experts only. Tuesday the 15th morning is your best bet for something a little easier.
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.
