The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here with the Floreat groyne outlook. Water temp is about 63.5°F, which is over 3.5°F colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel it, trust me.
First couple days are a bust. Friday 17 and Saturday 18 July bring strong cross‑onshore winds, lumpy seas, and a massive 13‑foot W swell on Saturday afternoon with a 12‑second period – way too big for this break. The combined energy is off the charts (5453), but not rideable.
Sunday 19 July morning is the standout. Swell drops to a solid 8 feet from the WSW, period 14 seconds – good groundswell energy (2405). Wind switches to a light NNE at 6 mph, cross‑offshore, skies clear. That’s clean, lined‑up surf, but it’s for experienced surfers. This break is usually beginner‑friendly, but Sunday it’ll be a step up. Crowds are possible, so expect a few heads.
Monday 20 July morning goes glassy – wind NE at 3 mph, nearly calm, with a 5‑foot WSW swell at 12 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (612). Good clean fun for everyone.

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.
