Floreat groyne Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of surf lining up at Floreat groyne, but it’s a bit of a slow burn at first.

Things kick off on Monday the 27th with a bit of a messy start. The morning has a 7ft WSW swell, but that cross-off wind from the SSE at 9 mph is making things tricky. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – a solid 3°F below average, so you’ll want the extra rubber. The wave energy is strong (1606), but the quality is just marginal. By the afternoon, it gets worse with the wind shifting to a cross-shore S at 12 mph, dropping the score to poor. Not the day to rush in.

Tuesday the 28th is where it starts to get good. The morning brings a clean 5ft WSW groundswell (14-second period) with a sweet offshore breeze from the East at 9 mph. The energy is still moderate (985), but the conditions are labeled as very good. This is your window for a clean, fun session. The afternoon holds up with an offshore breeze at 6 mph, and the swell settles to 5ft, staying clean.

The real standout, though, is Sunday the 2nd of August. We’ve got a 7ft WSW swell rolling in with a 14-second period, and an offshore wind from the East at 9 mph in the morning. The wave energy is strong (1849), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. Then, in the afternoon, it goes glassy. Completely still, with an ESE wind at just 3 mph. The swell drops to 7ft, but that glassy surface will make it a dream. If you can only pick one session, this is it.

Tuesday the 4th of August morning is another beauty. A 6ft WSW groundswell with a long 19-second period and glassy conditions. That’s a very long period swell, so it’ll wrap in nicely and offer some real power, but the sets will be spaced out. The energy is strong (2156), and it’s rated excellent for experienced surfers.

One more to circle: Saturday the 6th of August. The morning is glassy with an 8ft WSW swell (17-second period). That’s a big, powerful groundswell. The wave energy is very strong (3509). This is strictly for the experts – 8ft is the top end of what’s manageable. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be clean, but you need to know what you’re doing.

After that, the second week gets wild. From the 9th of August onward, the swell goes huge – 15ft and 18ft. The energy readings are massive (over 7000), but the break is simply too big to handle. It’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.

The pick: Sunday the 2nd of August – morning or afternoon. The afternoon glass-off is the cherry on top.

Keep an eye on the 28th if you want something a bit smaller and cleaner.

Rusty.
