The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Alright, let's have a look at what's on the table for the Kaolins stretch over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—this is a pretty grim run. The swell energy is weak for the most part, and the wind windows are just not lining up. We're looking at a long stretch of disappointing surf, so don't get your hopes up.
The first real chance to get wet doesn't come around until Monday, the 27th of July. Even then, it's a real struggle. We've got a 3ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 123. The morning is the only window worth mentioning, with a cross-offshore wind from the NNW that should keep things clean. It's surfable, but only just. The afternoon turns into a messy onshore mess, so you'd want to be out early. After that, it dries up again.
Then we have a long gap. There's nothing until Monday, the 3rd of August. Monday morning brings a 4ft swell from the west-southwest, a short 8-second period, and a combined energy of 128. The wind is glassy—a dead calm, with a slight air from the south-southwest. That's a major positive. You'll find the surface clean as a whistle. But the swell is small and a bit short-period, so the waves won't have much grunt. It's a classic "glassy but gutless" situation. The morning is your only shot, as the afternoon turns onshore.
So, the standout? There's really only one, and it's a stretch. I'd say Monday, the 3rd of August, morning session. The glassy conditions at Kaolins (a reef break that's inconsistent and really only for advanced crew) will make the most of that 4ft west-southwest swell. The water is about average for this time of year, so no drama there. For the rest of the forecast, it's a blank run. This isn't surprising for an area like this—when it's poor, it can stay poor for a while.
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.
