Table - best surf conditions forecast for Marlin over the next 16 days.
Mate, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking grim. Over the next 16 days, Marlin is basically a write-off. There's not a single decent session on the cards. The forecast throws up a few marginal windows, but they're all too messy to get excited about.
The first few days are a real letdown: Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th have tiny, weak swell around 2ft to 3ft, with a cross-onshore breeze that's going to leave it bumpy and average. The water temp is sitting at 79°F and that's about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Midweek, things get a bit bigger but the wind stays ugly. Tuesday the 14th is still small and weak, but by Wednesday the 15th, the swell jumps to 8ft out of the SSE with a short period of 8 seconds. That's a lot of water moving – the combined energy hits 730 (moderate wave energy) – but it's coming in with a fresh cross-onshore wind, so it's going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. Too big for beginners, and not clean enough for anyone else.
Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th keep that energy up – 6ft to 8ft with combined energy climbing into the thousands (strong wave energy) – but it's all cross-on or onshore wind, making it hopeless for anything but maybe a kite session if you're into that. The swell direction is SSE to SE, but the wind is ruining it.
The second week rolls on with the same story: solid swell heights, but the wind either stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short (8 seconds). The spots are getting consistent wave energy, but the quality just isn't there. The only "marginal" tags come on the 18th, 22nd, 23rd, and 26th, but with that wind, it's not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, there's no standout, no hidden gem, no session to save your weekend. The forecast is a blank run for quality surf. It's a tough one, but sometimes the ocean just doesn't play ball. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
