The Lowdown

Alright, let's talk surf. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks.

We've got a big gap of nothing ahead of us, about a full week from now through to the 21st of July. The wind is onshore, the swell is tiny, and the combined swell energy is next to nothing. It's a real bummer, but you can't force it.

Then, on the morning of the 21st of July, Tuesday, we get a window. The wind is glassy – dead calm. That's a major positive. The swell is still tiny, just 3ft from the SW, and the combined energy is a weak 81. It's just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not a classic, but it's the cleanest you're going to get.

After that, it's back to the same. The rest of the month into early August shows nothing but tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2ft. The energy is in the teens and twenties. Even with clean offshore winds, there's no power. On the 25th of July (Saturday), the period jumps to 11 seconds, but the swell is only 1.0ft from the SE. That's a high period on a flat wave, so it's just a tease.

This is a tough one. There's no real standout. The only card to play is that Tuesday, 21st of July morning with the glassy conditions. The water is sitting at 27°, which is about 2° colder than usual – so it's a bit chilly for this time of year.

Stay patient. This kind of run happens, and it won't last forever.

Rusty.

Information about the Junkyards Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Junkyards provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Junkyards can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Junkyards 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 (Junkyards) 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 Junkyards 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.
