The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the surf for Floreat groyne. This is a beach and groyne spot that’s good for beginners, but it can get real heavy when the swell kicks in.
The action starts Monday, 24 August. Morning session is clean with a 7ft swell from the WSW, long 14-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the SE at 3 mph. The water’s got a ton of energy (1680), but it’s too big for the groms. Water temp is about normal for the season. Afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-on wind and a 6ft swell.
Tuesday, 25 August, is a bust. Strong cross-on winds from the NNW at 16 mph, choppy and ugly. Wednesday, 26 August, is a disaster—heavy rain, a 12ft swell with a very long 19-second period, and onshore winds. The energy is huge (8040), but it’s a mess. Thursday stays big and rough.
Friday, 28 August, is a bright spot. Morning is clean with a 6ft WSW swell, 13-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the SE at 6 mph. Moderate energy (903), and it’s clean. This is the best of the first week. The afternoon is smaller and crossed up.
Saturday, 29 August, is a total standout. Morning is clean with an offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, and a small 3ft groundswell from the WSW with a very long 19-second period. The afternoon is even better: 5ft, 16-second period, with a gentle offshore breeze. Energy jumps to 1495, and it’s clean, lined-up, and perfect for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the entire forecast.
Sunday, 30 August, is okay—clean morning with a 7ft swell, but the afternoon gets a bit onshore. Monday, 31 August, is similar.
The second week starts with a long run of poor conditions. From Tuesday, 1 September, through Thursday, 3 September, it’s mostly choppy and crossed-up. Friday, 4 September, is marginal. The real action comes back on Saturday, 5 September, with a 10ft swell, but it’s onshore. Sunday, 6 September, has large 8ft to 10ft swells, but with a strong cross-off wind from the SSE at 19 mph, it’s clean but only for the hardcore.
The standout in the second week is Monday, 7 September. The morning has a massive 12ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is offshore from the E at 19 mph. That’s a clean, powerful, expert-only wave. The afternoon is still excellent, with a 10ft swell and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is off the charts (4399 and 3669). This is a promising long-range call, but keep an eye on it.
Tuesday, 8 September, finishes with a 8ft swell, clean and cross-off.
So, the two best sessions are Friday, 28 August morning, and Saturday, 29 August afternoon. The Saturday afternoon is the gold—clean, offshore, and a long-period groundswell that will reel down the groyne. Monday, 7 September, is a big one to watch, but it’s a long way out.
Crowds can pop up here, so on the good days, expect some company.
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. 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.
