The Lowdown
Alright, time to switch to feet and Fahrenheit. This is Rusty, and we’re lookin’ at Hut Gulley.
Right off the bat, this break doesn’t fire often, so when it does, you gotta be ready. The water’s sitting at 57°, right around average for this time of year – nothing weird going on.
The action starts Friday the 7th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 636, and a light cross-off breeze from the WNW at 6 mph keeps it glassy. Saturday morning the 8th is even better – offshore wind from the north at 9 mph, same 3ft swell, period stretching to 16 seconds. The energy is 492, still moderate, but it’s clean and inviting.
Sunday the 9th goes bad. The wind swings to a fresh NNE at 22 mph, and the swell drops to 2ft. Not worth paddling out. Sunday afternoon is a little better, but still small.
Monday the 10th brings a jump in energy – 4ft SW swell, 19-second period, combined energy hitting 1055. The morning is clean, but the afternoon gets messy with a fresh cross-onshore wind. Tuesday the 11th brings back offshore conditions, with a clean 3ft to 4ft SW swell. Good for a session.
Wednesday the 12th – the swell pushes to 6ft, period at 16 seconds, energy at 1548. That’s strong. Morning is clean, but the afternoon is a total loss with strong cross-shore winds and rain. Thursday the 13th is the big one for experienced surfers. We’re looking at 8ft SW swell, same long period, and the energy is 3020 – that’s heavy. Morning is clean with a gentle cross-off. This is only for the experts. Afternoon drops to 7ft but gets bumpy.
Friday the 14th holds around 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is cross-shore. Saturday the 15th is onshore and lumpy. Sunday the 16th drops to 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is poor.
The following week is smaller. Monday the 17th is onshore and weak. Tuesday the 18th is a hidden gem – glassy conditions, 3ft SW swell with an 18-second period, energy at 518. That’s clean, small, and perfect for a longboard. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are offshore but small, under 3ft. Friday the 21st has a brief pulse of 5ft SSW swell but with a short 7-second period – that’s windswell, not worth the hype. The rest of the period stays small and clean.
The best call? Thursday the 13th morning – 8ft SW groundswell, clean, powerful, for the brave. For the everyday surfer, Saturday the 8th and Tuesday the 18th are the real standouts.
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.
