The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for Main Street Pier over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a grim stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run where the surf just doesn’t show up with any real passion. The first surfable day that barely registers is Monday the 20th, and it’s a real letdown. Before that, from Friday the 17th through Sunday the 19th, it’s flat and ugly—tiny 0.7ft to 2ft swells from the E and SE with short periods, the kind of stuff that’s barely making a ripple. Don’t even bother paddling out.
Monday the 20th afternoon sees a tiny bump: a 4ft SE swell, but it’s a 4-second period, so it’s gonna be weak and gutless. The combined energy is only 62 (weak), and while the wind is light and clean, it’s still just “surfable but very ordinary.” Honestly, not worth the wax.
The pattern keeps repeating—tiny 1ft to 2ft junk from the ESE and SE, with periods so short (4–8 seconds) they’re just wind slop. A few mornings look glassy or clean (like Wednesday the 22nd morning with a 3 mph S wind, or Saturday the 25th morning with a 6 mph SSE cross-off), but the swell is pathetic. Your best bet for a slightly bigger, cleaner moment is Saturday the 26th afternoon: a 3ft ESE swell with a 9 mph W cross-off wind, energy bumping up to 162 (moderate). It’s still “surfable but very ordinary,” but it’s the closest to a real wave in the whole run.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak slop for the rest of the month and into the first of August. The water temp is hangin’ around 82°F, which is about 1°F below average for this time of year—nothing weird, just your typical warm summer water.
The real kicker is that this is a beach/pier setup, so without a proper groundswell (which we ain’t gettin’, with periods staying under 9 seconds), it’s always gonna be a tough wait. There’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. If you’re desperate, the 26th afternoon is the pick, but lower your expectations way down. This is a good stretch to take the board in for a repair or just go fishing.
Stay salty,
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.
