The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for most of us. The ocean is going to be flat and sulking for a long stretch, so you might want to find another hobby for a bit. I'm not seeing any real swell on the horizon until the middle of next week, and even then, it's not going to be anything to write home about. We're looking at a solid week of nothing before things might just start to wake up.
The whole period is a test of patience. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf pushing through up until the 17th, with the odd glassy morning but basically nothing with any push. The water is a warm 85° right now, which is well above normal for this time of year. You'll be sweating in your wetsuit, that's for sure.
Now, for the only glimmer of hope. Around the 18th of August, we finally see a pulse of energy, but it's a bit of a tease. The morning of the 18th brings in a clean, offshore easterly wind and a modest 3 ft swell from the WSW. The energy is weak though. It's surfable, but you'll be working for every crumb on a longboard. Focene or Baraonda will be the spot, and with the offshore wind, it might just have a bit of shape. This is a beginner-friendly wave, but this is about as good as it gets.
The afternoon of that same day, the swell jumps up to 6 ft, and the energy picks up, but the wind swings onshore and it's going to be a choppy, messy mess. Definitely not the pick.
The next morning, the 19th, has a similar small swell, 3 ft, but the wind is a cross-offshore and it looks cleaner. Still, with that weak energy, it's more of the same: small and weak. For a break that's already fairly consistent but exposed, it's not offering much. This is not the time for a hero session.
So, if you're desperate for a paddle, the mornings of the 18th and 19th are your only real windows. Keep your expectations super low. It's a long stretch of flatness, so maybe this is a good time to wax the board and just look at it. I'll be doing the same. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
