Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, gents, Rusty here. We've got a pretty bleak picture for the next couple of weeks. Let’s break it down.
Basically, if you’re itching to get wet, you’ll be waiting a while. The first ten days or so are a write-off. We’ve got tiny, blown-out slop that is not worth your time. You’re looking at a dry spell lasting right through until July 12th.
Now, there is a glimmer. On July 13th, Monday morning, we actually see some potential. The swell bumps up to a clean 3 ft from the West with a nice 12-second period, generating moderate wave energy (324). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a light offshore breeze, so it will be clean. This is your standout window, and honestly, it’s the only one. The rest of the week after that is messy with onshore winds and choppy conditions.
The first break to look at is Freshwater-West. It’s exposed and consistent, so it catches whatever energy is out there, but this setup is a beach and reef mix. With the longer period swell, it will likely hold up better on the reef sections. Keep an eye on the morning of the 13th.
Beyond that, the guidance shows a lot of weak, poor-quality surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no dramas there with the shorty.
Alright, that’s the long and short of it. It’s a waiting game, but that Monday morning looks like the real deal. Hang tight.
Rusty.

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