The Lowdown
Right, looks like we’re in for a bit of a flat spell here at Kaolins. There’s nothing doing at all for the first few days. Wednesday the 2nd through to Friday the 4th is just a write-off: tiny, messy, onshore slop with combined wave energy barely reaching 179. Not worth even looking at the ocean. That’s about three days of nothing good.
Come Saturday morning the 5th, things finally perk up. We get a proper long-period groundswell rolling in – 13 seconds from the west, around 4ft. The combined energy jumps to 392 (moderate), and the real magic is the wind: light cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph. That’ll clean the faces right up. Kaolins is an inconsistent reef break that can hold a bit of a crowd sometimes, but on a morning like that, with a clean west swell, it’s gonna be tempting. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year.
Saturday afternoon, though, the wind swings back onshore so don’t sleep in. Sunday the 6th is back to small and average.
There’s a bit of a gap again through to Monday the 14th – mostly poor conditions, onshore winds, and nothing to get excited about. The energy stays low, mostly under 100, with a couple of mid-week pulses getting chewed up by cross-onshore breezes. That Monday morning the 14th flags as marginal: a 3ft, 12-second west swell, with light cross-shore wind and 323 energy, but it’s a long shot and the tide might mess with it.
Now, the real standout? That Saturday morning the 5th is the only true gem in this 16-day window. Light winds, clean lines, and a proper long-period west swell at Kaolins. That’s your session.

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.
