The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's brewing for the next couple of weeks. It's a slow burn to start, but there's a definite window of quality surf if you're keen. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout period is the middle of this week. From Tuesday morning, the 18th of August, through to Thursday morning, the 20th of August, the conditions are looking really good. We've got a solid, long-period SSW groundswell pumping in with moderate wave energy, and the key is the light NW cross-offshore breeze. This is going to keep Fullers (a reef break) clean and lined up. It's an advanced spot and it's inconsistent, so you'll need to be patient and know what you're doing, but when the sets come through, they'll be worth the wait. Crowds are possible here.
After that, the surf drops off a bit. Friday the 21st has a small morning window, but the energy fades out quickly. We then hit a bit of a lull through the weekend with small, mixed-up conditions. The swell picks up again on Sunday the 23rd of August with a WNW swell around 4ft, but the wind is cross-shore, so it's not going to be clean. This leads into a period of very marginal surf.
The forecast for the end of the month and into the start of September is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a promising swell on the 27th and 28th of August from the WNW, with moderate energy, but again, cross-shore winds keep things from being perfect. Keep an eye on the 28th afternoon, as the swell size bumps up to 5ft, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it's not ideal.
The real gem for the second week looks to be the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. We've got a clean groundswell from the SSW, a light offshore breeze, and moderate energy. It's a bit of a tease, being so far out, but it's the best-looking option on the horizon.
Stay patient, and pick your moments. This is Rusty, signing off.

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