The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Marlin. I’ve looked over the charts and honestly, it’s a tough run ahead for the next couple of weeks. The overall pattern is quiet and messy, with hardly any real surf on offer.
For the whole 16-day window, the first good surf I can see doesn’t show up until Wednesday, the 23rd of September, and even then it’s only marginal. So we’re looking at a big gap from now, through the 14th, right up to that Wednesday with nothing worth paddling out for. Most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is small, short-period slop, and it’s just poor conditions day after day.
When we finally get to Wednesday the 23rd, there’s a slight glimmer. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the ESE, with a period that jumps to 12 seconds by the afternoon. That longer period is a groundswell, which gives better shape. The combined energy reads 573 (moderate) in the afternoon, so there’s some push behind it. The wind is a gentle breeze from the ESE, which is onshore, but light enough that it could clean up a bit. This is the only day that even sniffs at a recommendation, but it’s still only a marginal call due to the wind direction. For beginners at Marlin, that 5ft is manageable. The water temp is 79°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Everything else after that drops right back off. By the 25th, the swell crumbles to under 3ft, energy drops to double digits, and it’s cross-onshore wind again. The final days of September and into the 29th are tiny, with swell under 2ft and weak energy. Not worth a second look.
So, if you’re desperate, Wednesday the 23rd afternoon might give you a few fun ones at Marlin, but don’t hold your breath. It’s a lean stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a quiet spell for the area.

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