The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Main Street Pier.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. The first week looks pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf with tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, and a lot of cross and cross-onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Sunday the 2nd through to Saturday the 8th, it’s a real struggle. Swell is tiny, mostly from the ESE or E, with short periods around 7-8 seconds, meaning weak, disorganized waves. The combined energy is low, barely cracking 100 (21 to 100 range). Wind is all over the place – cross-off, cross, cross-on – so nothing clean or rideable for more than knee-high dribble. Tuesday morning the 4th and Thursday the 6th offer a bit of offshore wind, but the swell is just too small.
Now, there’s a little glimmer on Sunday the 9th. The morning shows a 4 ft swell from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds and a light W cross-off breeze. The combined energy jumps to 243, which is moderate, and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the standout window. It’s still not massive, but the wind is clean and the size is a step up from the rest. The swell direction is off the ESE, which isn’t the optimum NE for this spot, but it’s the best we’ll see. After that, it drops back to tiny, weak swell through the rest of the second week. Monday the 10th has a little energy (101) but the wind shifts cross, killing the quality.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Sunday morning the 9th is your only real shot. The rest of the forecast is a flat spell. For the area, with few consistent breaks, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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

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 Main Street Pier 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.
