Alright, Rusty here, looking at what's on offer for the coming weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Happys. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s really nothing that gets the heart pumping. We’ve got a bit of swell early on Friday the 3rd, but it’s pretty ordinary. From Saturday the 4th, it’s pretty much a write-off for a solid week and a half straight, right up to around Tuesday the 15th. There’s a long, flat gap there where you’re better off doing something else.
The only flicker of anything that might be worth a look is the first morning, Friday July 3rd. Happys has a tiny 2ft dribble of ESE swell, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak at (176), so it’s not gonna have much push. But the wind is a light NNW offshore at 6 mph, keeping it clean. The water’s sitting at 69°F and is about 3°F colder than normal for this time of year. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. That’s the best pick of a bad bunch.
After that, it’s all downhill. The wind swings onshore from the south and south-east from Saturday afternoon and just hammers the place. By Sunday and Monday the swell bumps up to 6ft to 8ft, but it’s messy, short-period windswell with combined energy getting up there (up to 1046 on Tuesday the 7th), but with fresh cross-onshore winds, it’s just going to be lumpy, choppy, and blown out – proper messy. That kind of setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
A little more promising is Wednesday afternoon the 15th, when it goes completely glassy with ENE wind at 3 mph, but the swell is a tiny 1ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The outlook stays poor with only tiny pulses for the rest of the run. This spot tends to have blank runs, and this is one of them. Forecasts can change, but for now, there’s no need to rush down.
Rusty.

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