The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window for Kaolins, it's a pretty bleak picture. We’ve got a genuine run of poor conditions that stretches all the way from the 5th of September right through to the 20th. There’s no standout day here, just a whole lot of waiting. The swell direction isn't cooperating, and the wind is mostly a problem.
The only session that even half-waves is the Saturday morning of the 5th. Kaolins (reef) will see a 4ft swell out of the west, with a long period of 13 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, bringing good energy (466). The water is 65°, which is pretty average for this time of year. The wind is light and offshore out of the ENE, so it’ll be clean. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions," but the underlying score is weak. This is an advanced, inconsistent break that only "sometimes" has crowds, so it's not a go-to spot. But considering the rest of the forecast, this is the only real window of opportunity. Even then, the afternoon goes onshore and marginal.
From Sunday the 6th onward, it’s a disaster. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore for days, and while we see a bump of 5ft on the Monday afternoon (7th of September), it's coming with a strong 16 mph cross-onshore wind from the WSW, making for choppy, poor surf. The combined energy (840) is moderate, but it’s just blown out.
There is a run of moderate offshore winds from the 17th of September onward, but the swell has completely died. We’re talking 1.0ft to 2ft waves with very low energy (between 30 and 82). Clean, sure, but there's nothing to ride. For the last few days of the window, the swell period does get long again (11-14 seconds), but without any height, it’s a flat calm.
So, the honest truth is: the morning of Saturday, 5th of September is your one and only shot, and it's just barely a shot. For an inconsistent, advanced reef break, it might offer a couple of clean ones, but don't expect much. After that, forget it. The forecast can change, but right now, these conditions are tough for any paddle surfer.
Rusty.

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