The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, man. It’s been a bit slow, but let’s cut through the noise. The next week to ten days is a write-off, just a bunch of weak swell and blown-out dribble. You’d be fighting for scraps, and it’s just not worth it.
The 16th through to the 24th is a long, blank stretch. You’re looking at a lot of days with swell under 1 foot and short, crumbly periods. It’s all chop and closeouts, nothing with any drive. There’s a full gap of a week where you don't even want to look at the water.
Finally, on the 26th, we see a little tease. Some longer period pulses are starting to show, but it's still small.
But then we get to the 27th of September. That’s our day. The morning is looking absolutely clean, with a glassy offshore wind. We have a long-period swell in the 12-second range, pushing a head-high wave. It’s got a lot more power behind it. The energy is up, you can feel it. That's the standout.
The next morning, the 28th, is a very close second. Still small, but with that long period, it'll be breaking with some shape. It's the pick of the run, just right before the wind switches onshore.
Then, hold onto your board, because the 30th of September is showing a sudden jump to 8-foot surf. But the period is short and the wind will be on it, making a total mess. That’s a challenge for the experts, nothing for the rest of us. It’ll be a closeout city.
So, mark your calendar for the 27th and 28th of September. It's a promising, if distant, forecast, but it has the potential to be the best waves of the entire outlook. Huntcliff will be where you need to be. Keep it on your radar.

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