Hey, Rusty here again. Keurbooms is looking at a solid stretch of surf from Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, running through mid-July. It starts big and powerful, but the real gems are for the experienced crew.
Thursday afternoon kicks off with an 12ft SW swell, moderate wave energy (1974), and a cross-offshore west wind at 12 mph. It’s clean but too big for most. Friday morning, July 3rd, is a standout: a 6ft SE swell with an 11-second period, glassy conditions, and a light north breeze. Water temp is 63°, normal for this time of year. This is excellent for experienced surfers – clean, lined-up waves.
Saturday morning, July 4th, holds 7ft SE swell, 12-second period, and flat calm – glassy perfection, again for the experienced. Wave energy is strong (1364). Sunday, July 5th, eases to 5ft from the ESE, still glassy and clean.
Monday, July 6th, swings back to 7ft SW swell with glassy conditions, and Tuesday, July 7th, keeps 6ft SW swell under glassy skies. Consistency is high.
Wednesday, July 8th, is another standout: 8ft SW swell, 13-second period, moderate wave energy (2795), and cross-off west wind keeping it clean. Excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday, July 9th, jumps to 13ft SSW swell with very strong energy (7154) – too big for paddle surfing, more for kiting.
Friday, July 10th, drops to 10ft SSW swell, glassy morning but big. Saturday, July 11th, offers 8ft SSW swell with glassy afternoon conditions. Sunday, July 12th, brings a 8ft SE swell with a short 8-second period in the morning, then a 8ft S swell with a very long 16-second period and strong energy (4003) in the afternoon – best on the point or reef.
Monday, July 13th, holds 6ft S swell with cross-off wind, clean. Tuesday, July 14th, eases to 7ft ESE with clean conditions, and Wednesday, July 15th, drops to 5ft E swell – still fun. Thursday, July 16th, goes small with 3ft E swell and offshore wind, but it’s ordinary. Friday, July 17th, roars back with 13ft SW swell and very strong energy (5716) – way too big.
The best bets are Friday morning, July 3rd, and Saturday morning, July 4th – glassy, clean, solid SE groundswell. For the second week, Sunday afternoon, July 12th, with that 16-second period is promising but less certain. Crowds are possible, so paddle early.
Rusty.

Information about the Keurbooms Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Keurbooms provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Keurbooms can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Keurbooms 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 (Keurbooms) 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 Keurbooms 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.
