The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for the local stretch, starting right now and looking ahead.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, the surf options are almost non-existent. We’re looking at a long, flat spell where you’d be better off checking the wind for a kite session than paddling out. The first real chance of anything surfable is a tiny blip, and it’s not exactly gonna get the heart racing.
The only spot on the radar is Focene or Baraonda. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to the SW swell. The water is a very unusual 82°F—that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost like a warm bath.
Looking at the timeline, we have a massive gap with absolutely nothing until Friday the 18th of September. That’s nearly a week of flat, poor conditions. On Saturday the 12th, there’s a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW with a short 5-second period, but the wind is onshore from the W at 9 mph. Combined energy is a weak 14—it’s just messy.
The only flicker of something happens on Friday morning, the 18th. There’s a 1ft SW swell with a 4-second period and a combined energy of just 8. The wind is light and variable, almost glassy. It’s clean, but the swell is tiny. This is truly your best bet, but it’s a sad best bet. For a true beginner, it might be something to splash around in on a foamie, but don’t expect a proper wave.
After that, we get a brief moment on the morning of Saturday the 19th. A 1ft SSW swell with a 5-second period (energy of 10) and glassy conditions (E wind at 3 mph). It’s clean, but again, the size is minimal.
From there, the forecast slides back into sub-2ft waves with clean but weak conditions, or flatness. The morning of the 22nd of September has a tiny bump with a NW swell at 2ft and a 4-second period (energy of 11), with crisp offshore NNE winds at 19 mph making it look clean, but the period is too short to hold any power.
This is just one of those stretches where the ocean goes to sleep. For an area like this, a blank run is more normal when the swell window isn’t cooperating. Keep the wax warm, and don't give up—forecasts always change.
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.
