The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of very small, often messy surf. The water is sitting at a toasty 84°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be comfortable in boardies, but you'll be doing a lot of waiting.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until Friday, August 28th. Thursday morning the 27th is completely flat, and Thursday afternoon brings a stiff 22 mph cross-off breeze with nothing to push around. Then on Friday morning the 28th, we finally see a pulse of swell hit Focene (Focene or Baraonda). The combined energy of all swells directed here will be moderate (136), with a 4ft swell from the WSW. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit weak and bumpy. The wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze, but the surf quality is still rated as poor. It's a small window, but it's the best on offer in the whole 16-day run.
After that, it's back to tiny, choppy, and mostly cross-onshore conditions for the rest of the month and into September. Saturday the 29th has a bit of energy (179), but the wind is onshore and the waves are messy. You'd be better off looking at a different sport.
Honestly, the only standout in this entire forecast is that Friday morning, August 28th. It's not perfect, but it's the only time we see a decent-sized swell with manageable wind. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, anything over 5ft is a bit of a handful, so that 4ft is actually a good size for the crew.
The rest of the period is a write-off. There are long gaps of several days with no surf at all, and the few times there's a ripple, it's usually blown out. Focene is a fairly consistent spot, so a blank run like this is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The forecasts can always change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I'd be planning a beach day or a trip inland.
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.
