The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down what we've got for the Kaolins area.
The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
Right now, and for the next few days leading into early September, it's a total washout. Onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and just poor surf conditions. Don't bother suiting up.
Tuesday, the 1st of September, there's a small glimmer. Tuesday morning we've got glassy conditions with a 3ft W swell, but the energy is weak (165). It'll be clean, but the waves are very ordinary. It's a longboard session at best.
Then it's back to the doldrums until Friday the 4th of September. Cross and onshore winds, messy surf, nothing to write home about.
The one that's got me excited is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. We've got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE and a 3ft W swell with a long period of 13 seconds. That's proper groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate (319). The wind is light, so it'll be glassy. That long period will love the reef at Kaolins. This is the pick of the bunch, but it's a long way out, so don't book the day off yet.
Monday the 7th of September morning also looks decent. A clean offshore from the ENE and a 4ft W swell with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate (274). Another clean morning, but the afternoon gets wrecked by onshore winds.
After that, the surf fades away. Small, clean mornings but nothing with any punch, and the onshore winds return for the rest of the outlook. The energy levels drop right off.
So, the skinny is: the first week is a bust. The second week has a couple of promising mornings, especially Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th, but they're a long-range gamble. Keep your fingers crossed and the wax warm.
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.
