Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kaolins over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Kaolins, because to be honest, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta say, this is a tough stretch. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’re staring down a long, dry spell with basically nothing rideable. The first bit of Thursday morning (July 9th) shows a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the files are calling it poor surf conditions, and with a cross-offshore wind, it’s just not enough to get excited about. The combined swell energy is weak at 64, and it’s really just a ripple. We’ve got a long gap here with no real recommendations.
The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – a little on the warm side, but nothing too wild.
The pattern just keeps repeating. Day after day we see tiny, weak swells. Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, Sunday the 12th – all with swell under 2ft and combined energy readings that barely crack 60. The winds are mixed, sometimes cross-off, sometimes onshore, but it doesn’t matter because the waves just aren’t there. It’s not until we get way out to Thursday the 24th of July that we see the swell height finally bump up to 3ft from the west, with a period of just 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak windswell with a combined energy of 106 (moderate). The problem is, the wind is cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. It’s still being flagged as poor surf.
Honestly, in all this time, there isn’t a single standout. There’s nothing to highlight. It’s a total blank run. For a reef break like Kaolins, which is inconsistent at the best of times, a long stretch of flat, junk surf is more normal for this area. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
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.
