The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our local stretch. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lot of flat, small, and messy conditions. The real action, if you can call it that, is a long way off, and it comes with a serious health warning.
Right now and for the coming days, it’s pretty grim. The vast majority of the forecast period is filled with tiny, weak swells producing poor surf. There’s a massive gap of nothing good until the last week of August. The first real flicker of life shows up on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, with a touch of swell from the SSW at 4 ft, but the energy is still weak (113). The wind is a light cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just ordinary. This is the same story for the Sunday morning, with a similar cross-off wind and a 3 ft swell from the WSW.
The real standout, and honestly the only thing that gets the heart rate up, is Monday the 24th of August. Both the morning and afternoon are pumping with a very strong swell (combined energy of 1126), but this is a dangerous one. The swell is too big, reading 10 ft to 12 ft. This is strictly for experts only. The winds are light and clean, but the sheer size of the swell from the WSW will make it a heavy, powerful beast. For a beginner, this is a no-go zone. For the experienced, it’s a serious proposition, but it’s not a day to mess around. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to worry about there.
After that big Monday, the swell drops off fast. The rest of the forecast runs into poor conditions again, with a few tiny, clean mornings but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed.
So, to sum it up: don’t even bother checking the cams for the next week. The only potential game in town is that Monday the 24th, and it’s for the big boys only. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
