The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on our hands for Hut Gulley over the next couple of weeks. The outlook starts slow – the first couple of days are a write-off with sloppy, lumpy conditions and strong cross-onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so no shock to the system there.
Wednesday (29th July) is a no-go. Thursday (30th July) is still messy, with weak, short-period swell and cross-shore wind. Friday (31st) isn’t much better. It’s not until Saturday (1st August) that things start to turn around.
Saturday morning (1st August) we see a clean-up with light offshore winds and a 2ft SSW swell, but it’s small. The real standout is Saturday afternoon: clean conditions, glassy offshore wind, building to 5ft SSW, with a very long 17-second period. The combined wave energy ramps up to a solid moderate (2024), and this is an excellent call for experienced surfers. That’s the best of the first week.
Sunday (2nd August) keeps the offshore flow going, with clean 5ft SW swell and a moderate 16-second period – a very good option, especially for those who want a bit more size.
The middle of the week (Monday 3rd to Thursday 6th) is a mix of small, clean surf and junk. Tuesday 4th is poor, but Wednesday 5th afternoon and Thursday 6th afternoon look promising again. Thursday afternoon (6th August) is a gem: glassy conditions, clean, 3ft SW swell with a long 15-second period. Lovely.
Friday 7th through Sunday 9th is consistent and clean, with light to gentle offshore winds. Sunday 9th brings a jump in size – 7ft to 7ft SW swell – this is expert territory, but with clean conditions, it’s a serious option for the brave. The wave energy is strong (1669 to 1900).
After that, the second week gets sketchy. Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th have fresh winds and messy conditions. Wednesday 12th sees a massive spike in swell – up to 15ft WSW – that’s way too big for this break, with heavy cross-shore wind and huge energy (12811). It gets a surfable mention for the brave, but it’s not for most. Thursday 13th is poor again.
If you’re picking a winner, it’s Saturday 1st August afternoon – clean, glassy, 5ft SSW from a long-period groundswell, and perfect offshore conditions. For the second week, Sunday 9th August morning is the standout – 7ft SW, clean, but only for experienced surfers. Crowds are likely at Hut Gulley, so get in early.
This break rarely breaks, so a run like this is a real treat.
Rusty.

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.
