The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for our stretch. I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but don’t get your hopes up for any kind of proper surf session. The whole period is basically a write-off.
From now, starting Monday the 24th of August, right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, there’s just nothing doing. The swell that does show up is small and messy. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. You’re looking at combined swell energy that stays mostly under 300 (weak to moderate at best), and a few spikes near 846 (moderate energy) on the 28th of August, but with those cross-onshore winds and short 8-second periods, it’s all chop and no shape. The water temp at Marlin is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year.
The only break we’ve got to talk about is Marlin. It’s a consistent beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the south, but the optimum swell direction is from the south, and what little swell we get is coming from the east and southeast – completely wrong angle. The biggest height we see is around 5 ft on the morning of Monday the 31st of August, but that’s with a cross-onshore wind and a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s just a bumpy, unsurfable mess. There’s a little pulse of long-period swell (14 to 17 seconds) around the 26th to 28th of August, which could be interesting, but it’s coming from the south and the wind is still cross-onshore. That long-period groundswell might set up okay at a point or reef, but at a beach break like Marlin, it’ll likely close out or be too straight.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the conditions look more suited for a kite than a surfboard.
We have to face it – there’s no standout session in this forecast. Just a long, flat, choppy run. But that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose faith.
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.
