Table - best surf conditions forecast for Main Street Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next stretch at Main Street Pier.
Honestly, it’s a quiet spell for the next couple of weeks. The swell is tiny for days on end, with a lot of poor surf conditions and scores that are just not worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of almost no real surf from now until around Thursday afternoon the 16th of July. That afternoon, we finally see a little bump, but it's nothing to get excited about. The real standout, if you can call it that, is much further out.
Thursday 16th July afternoon is the first time the energy climbs a bit. We’ve got a 2ft ESE swell with 8-second period, and the combined energy here is moderate at 58. Clean conditions with a light breeze. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – a small, weak beach/pier setup. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so you won’t need a winter suit just yet.
Then we go right back into another dry spell with near-flat waves for over a week. It’s a long blank run.
Friday 24th July afternoon is the one blip that stands out. The swell picks up to 3ft from the SE, still a short 8-second period, but combined energy hits 106 (moderate). Best part? Glassy conditions. That’s rare and beautiful. The wind is glassy from the SE at just 3 mph. For a beach/pier spot, that clean surface will make even these small waves look fun. Expect crowds here because it’s often busy, and with conditions this clean, everyone will be keen.
After that, it’s back to tiny swells and poor quality right through to the end of the outlook on the 27th of July. The swell direction is mostly ESE, which is cross-off to the optimum NE direction the break likes, so the shape won’t be great. The periods stay short (4-8 seconds), so no real power or push.
Bottom line: If you’re desperate, try Thursday 16th afternoon for a tiny, clean session. But the clear winner is Friday 24th July afternoon – glassy, clean, and the best wave energy we see in the whole run. Just be prepared to share the water.
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. If you surf the same spot (Main Street Pier) 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 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.
