Hullets Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, let’s talk about what’s happening. It’s a mixed bag for the next two weeks, but there’s some serious swell potential if you’re willing to wait for it.

We’re focused on Hullets Reef for the whole window here. To start, the water temp is pretty standard for this time of year.

The first part of the week is a bit of a tease. Tuesday the 8th starts clean with a glassy 4ft SW swell at 13 seconds, decent energy. The afternoon gets a bit side-shore and loses some shine.

Wednesday the 9th is small, with a 3ft SW swell. Clean early, but the afternoon wind wrecks it.

Thursday the 10th builds through the day. The morning is nothing to get excited about, but the afternoon turns it on. The wind goes offshore and the swell bumps up to a solid 7ft from the southwest with a long 16-second period. This is a proper groundswell and the energy is strong. This is your first real chance for a quality session.

Friday the 11th is blown out with strong onshore winds and messy waves.

The weekend and into Monday the 14th is a write-off. A few days of poor conditions and cross-onshore wind. Not worth the effort.

But then we get to the real standout. Wednesday the 16th. The morning is already looking great with a clean 8ft SW groundswell at 19 seconds. The energy is huge. But the afternoon is something else. The wind swings fully offshore, and the swell explodes to a massive 13ft from the southwest. The energy reading is off the charts. This is a serious, expert-only, life-changing kind of wave. Mark that date down.

Thursday the 17th remains big, with waves around 13ft and 12ft, but the wind is less favorable, a bit more cross-off. Still a heavy, heavy day. Friday the 18th is a total loss with near-gale winds and heavy rain.

The following week starts with a shift in direction. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th have the swell coming from the east. Saturday is 10ft with a fresh offshore wind, a bit raw. Sunday morning, though, is another gem: a glassy 7ft easterly swell, totally clean. That’ll be a great, fun session.

Then, just when you thought it was over, Monday the 21st brings another giant pulse. We’re talking a colossal 16ft of southwest swell with insane energy. This is a monster swell. The cross-shore wind will make it chaotic, but the raw power will be something to see.

The window closes with a return to a more manageable size. The last good clean session looks like Wednesday the 23rd, with a clean 5ft southwest swell and offshore winds. A nice, mellow way to wrap it all up.

So, two big standouts for me. That Wednesday the 16th afternoon session is the one to dream about – huge, clean, and perfect. For something you might actually survive, check out the morning of Sunday the 13th; a clean 8ft from the southwest with offshore winds. That’s a proper, powerful wave without being totally out of control.
