The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the Hut Gulley region. We’ve got a bit of a slow burn here, so let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, the water's sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
We’re starting off with a bit of nothing. The first few days are all small and messy. Wednesday the 19th has some tiny 1ft SW swell but the wind is up and it’s just not worth getting wet. Thursday and Friday are similar – small, cross-off winds, but the energy is just too weak. Honestly, you’re not missing much.
The first real glimmer comes on Saturday the 23rd. Sunday morning we’ve got 5ft SW swell, clean with a NW cross-off breeze, and the wave energy is building nicely. The standout though is Sunday afternoon – 5ft from the SW, clean, and the wave energy is solid (1387). That’s the pick of the first week. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and fun.
Monday the 24th is still rideable but drops off, and then we hit a dry patch from Tuesday the 25th through to Thursday the 27th. The wind goes cross-on, the swell gets messy, and the energy drops. Nothing to see there.
Now, hold onto your board. Friday the 28th is the big one. Friday morning we’ve got 10ft of SW swell, clean as a whistle with a NNW cross-off, and the wave energy is pumping (5395). That’s big, confident, and for experienced surfers only. Friday afternoon is a glassy 4ft SW swell – a total dream for the right crew. That’s your top pick.
Saturday the 29th morning is a bit of a problem – 12ft SW swell, but that’s too big for this spot, so I’d steer clear. The afternoon drops to 8ft from the SSW, which is still solid but borderline.
The end of the run shows some promise. Sunday the 30th morning has 8ft from the S, but the period is short (8 seconds), so it’s a bit lumpy. Monday the 31st is better – 4ft SW swell with a long 16-second period, clean, and good energy (1147). The afternoon picks up a bit more size (7ft) from the S, but again that short period.
The first few days of September are small and clean, but nothing to get excited about – just a slow fade out.
So, if you’re looking for the best of the bunch, it’s Sunday the 23rd afternoon for a fun, clean session, and then Friday the 28th morning for the big, clean, powerful stuff. That’s where it’s at.
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.
