G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch. The next 16 days have almost nothing worth paddling out for. The only real window is this Sunday morning, and after that, it’s a long, flat spell from Monday afternoon all the way through to the end – more than a week and a half with no decent surf. That’s just how it goes here sometimes.
The one session to circle is Sunday morning, July 5th at Lauderdale Point. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the south, with a long 17-second period that’ll give it some punch. The combined energy is strong at 1150 (moderate to strong wave energy). Winds are a light 9 mph from the southwest, cross-offshore, so it should be clean. Water temp is 52°, which is about 2° colder than usual for this time of year – a bit nippy, so bring a thick suit. This is a point break, and with that long-period groundswell, it’ll set up nicely. Expect company – crowds are often here. The 5ft swell is fine for intermediates, but the long period means the sets will have some gaps, making it easier to get out.
Sunday afternoon drops to 4ft from the south with a 16-second period, but the energy is weaker at 638. Winds go light from the south, still cross-off, but it’s just ordinary surf – not worth rushing.
From Monday morning onward, it’s a desert. Swell heights fall below 3ft, and the energy is mostly weak – double digits. There are a few glassy moments on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, and again on Thursday evening, but with waves at 1ft to 2ft, it’s just not worth it. The long 18-second period on those days is wasted on tiny stuff.
The one late hopeful is Monday, July 20th. The morning shows a 4ft south swell with 18-second period and strong energy at 733, with light cross-shore winds. The afternoon glass off with 3ft and 17-second period, energy at 559, looks clean. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the trip yet, but if it holds, that could be a nice surprise. Until then, keep the board in the car and wait for something better.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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