The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve stared at the charts for the next sixteen days and, honest to god, it’s a grim stretch for surf around here. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right now, through the end of August and all the way into early September, there’s basically nothing doing. The water’s running warm at 84°F, which is a wild 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year—feels like a bath out there, but there’s no swell to enjoy it. Most mornings we’re looking at flat, clean conditions with light winds, but the swell’s barely a ripple. Thursday the 27th has a measly 0.3ft of west swell with a short 6-second period and only 2 units of energy—weak as dishwater. Friday the 28th morning brings a tiny 2ft SSW swell at 5 seconds (energy 13), but it’s still poor. Sunday the 30th morning is glassy with a 2ft WSW swell at 6 seconds (energy 24), but again, it’s not enough to bother paddling out for. This flat spell runs for a solid two weeks.
The only flicker of hope comes right at the tail end of the forecast. On Friday the 11th of September, we finally see a pulse of energy. The morning shows 5ft from the west, a 7-second period, and a combined energy of 399—that’s moderate energy, a real step up. Winds are cross-offshore from the southeast at 16 mph, keeping it clean. That afternoon the swell pushes to 7ft from the west-southwest at 8 seconds, with energy at 450, but the wind swings onshore from the west-southwest at 6 mph, making it a bit bumpy. The scores are still marginal, and the guidance calls it “poor surf conditions.” It’s not a standout, just the only thing on the board.
Don’t get me wrong—when the swell does show, Focene is a fairly consistent, exposed beach break that handles a SW swell well, which is the optimum direction for the spot. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but that 7ft is pushing the limits for learners. Crowds can be an issue here often, so if there’s any size, expect company. For this week, though, the breaks aren’t even worth the drive.
Overall, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the Atlantic isn’t pumping. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang the board up and wait for the next window.
Rusty.

Information about the Focene or Baraonda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Focene or Baraonda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Focene or Baraonda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Focene or Baraonda 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 (Focene or Baraonda) 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 Focene or Baraonda 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.
