G'day, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on this forecast for Inner Kom. There’s some decent swell on the way, but you gotta wait for the good stuff.
The one to really mark on your calendar is Monday the 19th of July. The morning session is going to be perfect: glassy flat calm, 8ft of WSW swell with a decent period. This is the kind of day that keeps you coming back. The afternoon lightens up to a clean 7ft swell. That’s the absolute standout.
The lead-up is a mixed bag. A solid run from the 7th to the 10th July throws up 7ft to 10ft from the SW and SSW, but the wind is cross-on or messy offshore—so the conditions aren’t doing the waves any favors. The 1st July has a small 5ft W swell but it’s cross-on, not worth paddling out for. The 6th July morning does offer a glassy 8ft WSW swell, but that window is short.
The middle stretch, from the 12th to the 17th July, is a quiet spell. Swell drops to waist to chest high, and even though some mornings are clean, the ocean is flat.
Then we get to the 18th and 19th of July. The 18th July is a big one: 10ft to 13ft WSW swell with clean conditions. The combined wave energy is reading a massive 5817—that’s powerful. Only for experts on that Saturday, but it’ll be nuts.
So, the best of the bunch is that glassy Monday morning on the 19th July at Inner Kom. For a reef and point, that W to WSW direction is ideal. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but it can get busy, so expect some company. The water temp is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 58°.
Take it easy, Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Inner Kom can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Inner Kom 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.

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 Inner Kom 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.
