Infinities Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, gather 'round. Let's have a proper look at what's on the table.

So, we've got a bit of a mixed bag setting up for us over the next couple of weeks. The best of it is definitely spread out, with a few genuine windows of clean, fun-sized swell, but there are also stretches where you'd be better off getting the gear ready for a different session. The standout period looks to be around the end of the first week and into the start of the second. But let's walk through it day by day.

The first call is on Tuesday the 25th of August. It's nothing to write home about – small, weak stuff, an early morning breeze scrapping it up. The afternoon picks up a bit with a 6ft easterly swell, but the period is a short, choppy 6 seconds. Not the most inspiring start. The real show doesn't start to build until Thursday the 27th. That's when a consistent, clean south swell sets in with a nice 3ft wave at a 17-second period. Light easterly breezes will keep the face of it tidy at Infinities (a reef and point set-up). This is where you want to be. The combined energy is solid at 768 (moderate wave energy), and that long period means the waves will have some real push and shape. The water temp is around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Friday the 28th is also a solid call. The morning stays clean with light winds and a 3ft south swell, period dropping a bit to 14 seconds, energy at 502. By the afternoon, the wind goes a gentle offshore from the ENE, polishing it off for a beautiful, clean evening session. It won't be big, but it'll be quality.

Now, Saturday the 29th afternoon is where we get our first real highlight of the period. The morning is a bit meh, but then the wind turns offshore from the ENE and a punchy 6ft easterly swell arrives, period only 7 seconds. It's not a groundswell, but the conditions will be glassy, and the wave energy hits 583. This will be punchy and fun on the banks, but with that shorter period and size pushing over 5ft, it's going to be a bit much for beginners; the more experienced crew will have a ball.

The run into the next week stays clean, with a mix of easterly swells in the 4ft to 5ft range and good morning light winds. Monday the 31st is a consistent option. Then we hit Tuesday the 1st of September – and that morning is a proper standout. A 6ft easterly swell, period 8 seconds, combined with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, and a massive energy reading of 830 (strong wave energy). That's a powerful, clean wall of water heading for Infinities. The crowds can show up there sometimes, so get in early. This is the one to circle.

Wednesday the 2nd drops right back down, and the rest of that week is smaller, with a persistent south swell in the 3ft range and a decent 14 to 16-second period. The energy is moderate. It will be clean, but don't expect a lot of push.

The second week sees a bit of a pulse return. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September both see clean 5ft to 5ft easterly swells with 8 to 9-second periods and light winds. Energy is strong again at 630 and 610. A very promising, if not a little less certain, run for the weekend.

After that, the swells back off to a cleaner, longer-period south pulse (3ft at 16 seconds) for the 6th and 7th, before another 5ft easterly shows up on Monday the 7th afternoon with a big energy spike to 810. This late-stage run looks fun, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, the best bet is to aim for Saturday the 29th afternoon and Tuesday the 1st of September morning. That's your clean, punchy, quality windows. The rest is consistent and clean but smaller. If you're a beginner, stick to the smaller mornings (3ft to 3ft days) like the 27th or 28th.
