Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window starting now, but honestly, the surf is gonna be a real struggle. There's nothing that qualifies as a good option in the entire run, so don't be expecting any heroics.
The whole period is basically a write-off for decent waves. We've got a long, drawn-out stretch of flat, weak conditions with poor quality. From now all the way through to the end of the forecast period, every single morning and afternoon session is marked by poor surf. You're looking at tiny waves, mostly around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is pathetic. The combined energy figures are all well under 100 (typically between 20 and 99) — that's weak, gutless stuff. The swell direction is hanging out in the W to WSW zone, which is the optimum for Kaolins, but the size and juice just aren't there.
The winds are a mixed bag. There are a few mornings that look glassy or clean – like Tuesday the 7th morning with zero wind, or Monday the 14th morning with a light southerly and glassy conditions. But even then, you're looking at waves of 1 ft to 2 ft. It's clean, but there's practically nothing to ride. The rest of the time it's cross-shore or onshore, often choppy or lumpy.
If you're a beginner, the size is never an issue, but the quality is so bad it wouldn't be any fun. For the experts, there's just nothing to get excited about.
The water temp at Kaolins is sitting at 63°, which is about 0.5° above the norm for this time of year – so, pretty much average, nothing unusual there.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but as it stands, it's a blank run. I wouldn't be wasting the petrol.
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.
