The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for fresh water. Gotta be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a flat spell. We’re lookin’ at a whole lot of nothin’ for a long stretch, so temper those expectations.
Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to the end of the run, the surf is just not on. We’re talkin’ a solid 16-day gap where the waves are barely flickerin’. The swell energy is incredibly weak, with the highest reading reaching only 48 (weak energy) on Saturday the 1st of August, and most days sittin’ in the single digits. It’s a real bummer, but sometimes this area just goes quiet like this.
The only break on the cards is Freshwater east, a beach and reef setup that’s very sheltered and rarely breaks. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but even for a learner, there’s nothin’ to ride. The swell is tiny, hardly ever pushin’ above 2 ft, and mostly from the west or southwest. The wind, however, is often offshore or glassy, which is a tease – gorgeous conditions, but no wave to surf. On Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon, we get a glassy, clean window with 1 ft from the WSW, but the energy is still just 27 (weak), and it’s barely a ripple.
Look, there’s no standout here. Not a single day worth paddlin’ out. The best you can hope for is a small, clean bump on Thursday the 11th of August morning, with 2 ft from the west, a 5-second period, and glassy conditions. But combined energy at 16 (weak) says it all. If you’re desperate for a float, that’s your window, but don’t expect a wave.
It’s a long, dry run. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a total blank.
Rusty.

Information about the Freshwater east Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Freshwater east provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Freshwater east can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Freshwater east 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 (Freshwater east) 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 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.
