The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for Lances Right. Hardcore reef, advanced only, and loves the SW.
Water temp is 86°F, just a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The opening act is a scratch. Sunday the 19th has a 4ft SSW swell, but the wind goes cross-on by the afternoon. The wave energy is moderate (827). Skip it.
Monday the 20th is your first real look. 6ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy conditions in the morning. That’s serious groundswell with strong energy (1989). For the experienced crew, this is clean and powerful. The long period might make it a little shifty at the peak, but the reef will hold it together.
From Tuesday the 21st through Sunday the 27th, it’s all blown out. Onshore wind, dropping swell, poor conditions. That’s a solid nine-day gap of nothing.
Then it lights up again. Saturday the 1st of August, morning session: 6ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy. That’s a standout. Energy is strong at 1668. Sunday the 2nd of August brings offshore NW wind, 4ft SSW swell, and a very long 20-second period. Energy jumps to 2266. Expert territory.
The absolute best, though, is Monday the 3rd of August. 7ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, clean offshore wind from the NNW. Combined energy is very strong at 2804. This is big, raw, and only for the brave. It holds into the afternoon with 7ft and clean conditions.
So, the story here: a long wait through a flat, windy first week, then a killer run of offshore, powerful groundswell from the weekend into early August. The top pick is Monday the 3rd of August – early, offshore, and heavy. Keep an eye on it, though, since that’s a ways out. For now, it looks worth the wait.

A general guide to surfing at Lances Right can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Lances Right 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.
