Alright, grab a coffee and let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Kaolins is a tough one. We’ve got a long, quiet spell to start with. From now through the first week, there’s just no love from the ocean. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the wind, when it’s not rubbish, is just messy. The first real chance you’ll have to even think about paddling out doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th of July, so that’s a solid two-week gap with nothing worth chasing. It’s one of those blank runs that can happen here, and it feels like a proper dry spell.
Now, when we finally do get something, it comes with a catch. On Sunday the 19th of July, a south-west swell pushes in, averaging around 5 ft (combined swell energy of 203). That’s a proper bump, but the period is short at 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it won’t have that grunt you want. The morning looks your best shot with a light cross-onshore breeze keeping it rideable. But hold on – by the afternoon, the wind absolutely howls from the WSW at 22 mph, the swell jumps to 8 ft (combined swell energy of 1150), and it’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and a real handful. That afternoon session is strictly for the experienced crew only.
Then Monday the 20th of July, the swell is still hanging around at 5 ft, period still short (8 seconds), combined swell energy at 284, and the wind is light again from the west. It’s a bit better, cleaner, but still just a mediocre option.
Best on offer? Honestly, there’s no standout here. If you’re desperate, the Sunday morning on the 19th is the only window where the size and the wind are borderline okay, but don’t expect much. The crowd factor is a worry too – it can get busy on a Sunday. At 5 ft it’s not huge, but given the short period and onshore angle, it’s not a beginner wave.
No other breaks are offering anything up at all. It’s a grim forecast, folks. Forecasts can change, but for now, you’re better off finding something else to do until that third week shows up.
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.
