Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this one.
It’s a lean run for Marlin, and I mean lean. We start Saturday the 4th with a so-so 1.4m swell from the ESE, but it’s got cross-on wind, and the surf is marginal at best. Combined energy is moderate (371), but it’s not clean enough to get excited about. Sunday the 5th is more of the same – 1.5m swell, still cross-on. Just messy.
From Monday the 6th all the way through to Thursday the 16th, it’s a real dry spell. Swell is small most days, and when a pulse shows up, the wind is onshore or cross-on. Nothing but poor surf conditions flagged in that whole stretch. Save your gas.
The one glimmer is way out on Sunday the 19th of July. That morning shows a 0.7m swell from the south with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 572. Problem is, the wind is cross-on from the SSE at 20 km/h, so it’ll be chopped. That long-period groundswell wants a point or reef, not an exposed beach like Marlin. It might just close out. It’s also in the long range, so treat it as a whisper, not a promise.
For beginners, nothing in the 1.5m+ range is clean, and the tiny days aren’t worth the walk. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers right now.
But hey, it can’t stay flat forever. Rusty.

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.
