Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
To be straight up with you, it's a tough stretch ahead for Kaolins. This reef setup is pretty inconsistent and picky about conditions, and for the next 16 days, the stars just aren't aligning. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with nothing worth paddling out for from the start of the forecast right through to the end.
There's a tiny window of hope on Saturday morning, July 4th. For a few hours, we get a bit of a pulse. The swell is a small 3ft from the WSW, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 133. It's not much, but the wind is glassy. That's the main draw here – the chance for a clean, smooth surface on the reef. It's an advanced break, so you need to know what you're doing, and while the waves will be pretty gutless, that clean condition is the only thing saving this session. Expect some company; crowds are possible here.
But that's it. That's the only moment that even scrapes a recommendation. The rest of the month is a write-off. Sunday the 5th through to Sunday the 19th of July sees the swell drop even lower and the wind turns onshore or cross-on, making a mess of what little bump there is. The combined wave energy is in the low double-digits or even under 30 at times, which is about as weak as it gets. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but you won't be in the water long enough to care.
So, mark that Saturday morning, July 4th. Paddle out at dawn for a glassy, small-wave session. Otherwise, leave the board in the car. This is a classic blank run for this spot; it happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a long wait.
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.
