The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on Hut Gulley for the next couple of weeks. It's a spot that plays hard to get, so we gotta be smart.
We kick off on Saturday, 29th August morning. That's the one. A clean little 4ft SW groundswell with a period just over 14 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy from the WNW at 3 mph. The energy is moderate at 466. For a break that rarely shows up, this is a gift. Get wet early.
That afternoon, the swell jumps to 7ft from the SW, but a 9 mph onshore wind from the SSW ruins the party.
Sunday, 30th August, brings a 5ft SSW swell in the morning with cross-shore wind, making it bumpy. The afternoon gets bigger at 8ft SW, but it's still onshore.
Monday, 31st August morning, is your second chance. Glassy again with a 3 mph NNW wind, a 5ft SW swell at 14 seconds, and moderate energy at 1011. Clean, lined up, and waiting.
The rest of that week into early September is a tease. There's always some swell – from 4ft to 8ft SW – but the wind keeps getting in the way. Tuesday the 1st afternoon gets blown out by 16 mph winds, and while the cross-offshore winds on Wednesday the 3rd and Friday the 5th keep the surface clean, the quality is just not there. Friday, 4th September afternoon looks massive on paper – a 8ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds with a huge energy of 2608 – but with 12 mph cross-offshore wind, it's for experts only.
Then from Sunday, 6th September, it gets ugly. Onshore winds and rain roll in, and we're looking at poor conditions right through to Thursday, 10th September. The swell hangs around, but with winds over 16 mph, it's a mess. Might be a kite surfer's playground, but not for a paddle.
Things finally look up on Sunday, 13th September, with a 6ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, and clean 12 mph cross-offshore winds. Energy is strong at 1788. It's a long way out, so don't get your hopes up too high, but it's a nice thought.
To bottom line it: for a spot that's rarely in the game, you've got two clear shots – Saturday morning, 29th August, and Monday morning, 31st August. Make 'em count.
Rusty.

Information about the Hut Gulley Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hut Gulley provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hut Gulley can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hut Gulley 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 (Hut Gulley) 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 Hut Gulley 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.
Hut Gulley is 38 km (24 miles) from the city of Geelong. If you plan a holiday in Torquay, look for hotels and other accommodation in Geelong. Geelong has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
