Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what is cookin' for us.
Well, I won't lie to ya, this is a tough stretch. For the next couple of weeks, the swell is pretty anemic. We've got a tiny pulse early on, but the wind is a real problem on the afternoons, and the mornings just don't have the size to get excited about. There's a little window on the morning of Friday the 3rd, but it's barely worth paddling out for. After that, things pretty much flatline through to mid-month. It’s a long, dry spell.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, arrives way out on the morning of Saturday the 18th. It's a long way off, so treat this as a promising whisper more than a solid call. But that morning, we finally get a bit of push from a WSW swell at 6 ft with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a hefty 750 – that’s a proper thump of power for our shores. Break is Kaolins, a reef setup that needs that direction.
The catch? It's a cross-on wind from the W at 6 mph, so it won't be perfect, but it'll be ridable. At 6 ft, this is getting too big for beginners; you'll want some experience under your belt. Also, keep in mind it's an inconsistent break, so you might wait a while between sets. But when they come, they'll have some push.
Water temp on that first Friday morning is 66°, which is a touch warmer than we'd normally see this time of year.
So, to sum it up: save your energy for the 18th. The rest of the forecast is a write-off for decent waves, though a kite surfer might have some fun on those messy afternoons. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's looking like a long wait.

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.
