The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut through the junk. For Marlin, it’s a long, dry stretch. The first two weeks are a total bust. The wind is howling onshore, and the swell is pathetic, short-period junk. You’re looking at a 14-day gap where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
From Tuesday the 28th of July through the morning of Monday the 10th of August, it’s “poor surf conditions” all the way. The swell is mostly under 5 feet, with a period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, from 70 to 715 (moderate energy). The water temp is about normal for the season, so no shock there.
The first real shot comes on the afternoon of Tuesday the 11th of August. We’ve got a 6-foot swell from the ESE with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is 563 (moderate). The wind is still onshore, but it’s “marginal.”
The one true standout is the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. Marlin gets a 6-foot ESE swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is 537 (moderate). The wind is a light breeze from the ESE, at just 10 km/h. That’s practically glassy, which is a huge win. For a beginner-friendly break like Marlin, this will be clean and fun. The 6-foot swell is a bit much for total beginners, but for a solid beginner or intermediate, it’s a good size. The ESE direction is off the optimum S, but it’s still rideable. It’s a consistent break, so you’ll get waves, but expect some company.
After that, it’s back to the wilderness. The 14-day gap from the 28th of July to the 10th of August is a rough patch. It’s not always this dead, but when it’s flat, it’s flat.
Stay patient, 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.
