Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kaolins over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, this is Rusty, and I gotta say, looking at the charts for Kaolins, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re in for a long, quiet spell, so don’t get your hopes up for the next week and a half. The forecast is basically flat to tiny, with poor conditions plaguing us day after day. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at just 42 (moderate energy) on the first Saturday and dropping to single and double digits for a solid stretch. It’s not looking great.
We’ll see a few pulses of swell, but nothing worthwhile until we get to the end of the month. The first real glimmer comes on Wednesday, July 22nd, when the afternoon shows a small 4ft W swell, but with a short period of 6 seconds, it’s messy and weak. The energy jumps to 178 (moderate energy), but it’s still described as "surfable but very ordinary." Honestly, not worth the paddle out.
Then, hold onto your boards, because Saturday, July 25th, is the one to circle. The morning is looking like a proper standout. We’ve got a solid 6ft WSW groundswell with a long period of 12 seconds, giving it some real push. The combined energy is strong at 944 (strong wave energy). But the real kicker is the wind: glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive—it’ll be clean, smooth, and quality. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so it needs the right swell, and this is it. The wave direction is from the WSW, which is close to the optimum SW direction for this spot. However, at 6ft, this is going to be too big for beginners and solid for experienced surfers. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so expect a few locals out, but it won’t be a zoo.
The afternoon on the 25th turns to junk with a cross-onshore wind, so get your session in early. The rest of the outlook is a write-off, with poor conditions and messy wind. So, see you out there on the 25th morning if you’re keen and have the skills.
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.
