Hullets Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. It’s a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon, so let’s break down what we’ve got.

First up, we’re looking at Hullets Reef. The water is sitting at 61.2°F, which is a fair bit colder than normal for this time of year. You’ll want at least a 4/3, maybe a hood if you’re sensitive.

The next few days are messy. Thursday morning has the biggest swell we’ll see for a while, over 11.5ft, with a solid 13-second period. The energy is strong, sitting at 4424, but it’s a lot of water for a spot like this. The wind is offshore, but it’s a moderate breeze, so it’ll be clean up top, but it’s just big. This is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon drops a touch but the wind picks up, making it a bit more challenging.

Friday is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and it gets lumpy. Not worth the paddle.

Saturday has some size left, but the wind is howling, a strong cross-offshore breeze. It’ll be blown out and hard to manage. The energy is dropping, but it’s still got some punch.

Sunday is back up to 11.5ft, but with rain and a strong breeze, it’s messy. The period is still there, but the conditions aren’t doing it any favors. Monday is similar, a bit smaller, still a cross-off wind, but not great.

Tuesday is poor. The wind is onshore and it’s choppy. We get a bit of a reprieve on Wednesday, but the swell drops right out to under 3ft. The period is huge, 21 seconds, but there’s just not enough energy behind it. It’s a bit of a tease.

The following week starts to look a bit more promising. Thursday the 13th is still poor, but by Tuesday the 18th, things start to click. The swell comes back up to around 6.5ft, the wind is light, and the afternoon looks clean. The energy is moderate, but it’s a much better look. Then Wednesday the 19th morning is looking sweet. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and there’s 4.6ft of clean swell. That’s your best window for a proper, relaxed session.

The end of the week sees a pulse of bigger swell on Thursday the 20th, but it’s choppy in the morning. The afternoon saves it, though. The wind swings offshore, it’s clean, and there’s 8.2ft of swell. That’s a solid, powerful wave for anyone who’s got their wits about them. Friday the 21st is a write-off with a near gale, so don’t plan on that.

So, the standout is Wednesday morning the 19th for the clean, glassy conditions, and if you want size, Thursday afternoon the 20th is the call. The long gap in the middle of the window is a bit of a drag, but there are waves to be had if you’re patient.

Later.
