Table - best surf conditions forecast for Marlin over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's coming our way.
Straight up, it's a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We are looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first real chance of any surf doesn't show up until Saturday, July 26th, and even then it's only a marginal call. That's a solid 15-day gap with no recommendations.
Marlin is the only spot on the radar, and it's a beginner-friendly, consistent break exposed to the south. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The long-range outlook for Saturday, July 26th morning shows a bit of a pulse, with some chest-high swell around 4ft coming from the ESE, but the period is a short and weak 7 seconds, giving it a low energy reading (232). The wind looks light and onshore, which won't do it any favours.
The issue here is the onshore winds. From now until then, it's a constant parade of cross-onshore and onshore breezes, mostly from the SSE and ESE, keeping the waves chopped up and messy. We do see a bit of a spike in swell around Thursday, July 16th and Friday, July 17th, with energy readings up in the four-digit range (1641), meaning some solid, powerful swell is around. But the wind is just no good, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. With that much swell and strong onshore wind at a beach setup, it’s looking more like a session for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.
For now, keep your gear in the car and don't get your hopes up. The forecast can always change, but this one's looking like a long blank run.
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.
