The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
Honestly, the first couple of days are a total bust. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the ENE on Saturday the 1st, but it’s getting hammered by a strong 25 mph cross-off wind. The water’s a balmy 81°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The combined wave energy is massive, reading 1297, but with those winds, it’s just gonna be blown-out chaos. Not worth paddling out.
Things calm down a bit on Tuesday the 4th. That’s our first real chance. The swell drops to around 5ft, still from the ENE, and the period stretches out to a nice 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind eases way back to a light breeze at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean. The break is In Betweens. It’s a reef setup, best for beginners, and it’s fairly consistent. This will be the highlight of the first week. The combined energy sits at a moderate 596, so there’s enough punch for a fun ride. Just be aware it can get a crowd sometimes.
After Tuesday, it starts to shrink. Wednesday the 5th drops below 5ft, and by Thursday the 6th we’re down to 3ft with the wind picking back up. Not worth the effort.
There’s a weird little spike on Saturday the 8th, with a 6ft ENE swell but only 7 seconds period – short, weak, and junky. Plus the wind is howling at 25 mph again. Give it a miss.
The second week looks pretty rough for quality. From Sunday the 9th all the way through to Sunday the 16th, there’s a long stretch of messy, windy conditions. We see a few pulses of longer period swell from the south around the 12th and 13th, with 3ft at 18 seconds, but the wind is still a strong cross-off from the ENE. That combo just won’t produce anything clean.
The best session on offer is definitely Tuesday morning, August 4th at In Betweens. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only time the conditions line up: clean winds, a solid 5ft groundswell from the ENE, and moderate energy. That’s the one to mark on your calendar.
Hang tight, and keep an eye on the updates. When it’s this quiet, it usually doesn’t last long.
Rusty.

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 In Betweens 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.
