The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Freshwater East.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet spell to kick things off. The first two weeks are looking like a proper flat spell, with barely a ripple to report. We're talking day after day of tiny, weak surf that's just not worth paddling out for. There’s a long stretch from now right through until the end of the month where the energy is just not there – you'll be lucky to get a wave that breaks. You’ll get some glassy mornings and clean offshore breezes, but with swell heights barely scraping a foot and periods all over the shop, it’s a time for cleaning the wax off your board, not riding it.
But hold on, there’s a glimmer of hope right at the tail end of the forecast. Come Thursday the 30th of July, things look like they might finally turn on. We're looking at a late-month pulse of swell hitting, with waves building to about 4ft. The energy is way up there, and with a period of 6 seconds, it's short-period windswell so it'll be a bit crumbly and sectiony. The wind is forecast to be offshore from the west, around 9 mph, which should keep the surface clean. Small and a bit bumpy, but it’s the most interesting thing we’ve seen in weeks.
That Thursday the 30th, with that WSW swell and clean offshore winds, is your absolute standout. There’s nothing else that comes close. Get on it if you can.

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 Freshwater east 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.
