The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Kaolins over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, frustrating run of nothing much happening. From now, right through until the 19th of August, it's pretty much a write-off. Day after day of small, weak, and messy conditions with a score of zero across the board. You'll see a few mornings with clean-ish conditions, like Monday the 10th or Saturday the 15th, but the swell is just too tiny to bother with. It's a real flat spell.
The first sign of anything even remotely surfable doesn't pop up until Thursday the 20th of August. The morning session shows a small 3 ft west swell, but with a gentle offshore breeze from the NE. That's the first time we see a score of 1/10, which tells you how low the bar is. The combined wave energy is moderate at 104, but it's going to be very ordinary. The wind is clean, though, so if you're desperate for a paddle, that's your window.
After that, it's back to the same story. Friday the 21st has a bit more size at 3 ft from the west, period bumping up to 10 seconds, but the wind is cross-off and messy, keeping the quality poor. The rest of the outlook just fades out into tiny, weak surf again.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. For the whole 16 days, there isn't a single session that gets the heart racing. With such a persistent lack of any decent swell, this is a classic example of the area going quiet. It won't stay this way forever, forecasts can flip, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
