The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this outlook is a bummer. We’ve got a full 16-day window, and there’s just no surf to speak of. It’s a long, flat stretch ahead.
The only break in the game is Marlin. It’s a consistent, exposed beginner spot that needs a south swell, but the wind and swell are all wrong. The water is sitting at 80°, which is about average for the time of year.
From Thursday, September 3rd, all the way to Friday, September 18th, it’s the same old story. The swell is coming from the east and southeast, which is a total mismatch for Marlin. The wind is a mess too, mostly cross-onshore from the east and northeast, blowing at 9 to 12 mph. That’s going to chop the surface up real bad.
The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, reading between 114 and 417 (moderate wave energy), but it’s all useless. Swell heights are around 3 to 5 feet, but with short periods of 6 to 10 seconds, it’s just sloppy, wind-blown junk.
For a break that’s usually consistent, it’s a real kick in the teeth. But a blank run like this is more normal for this area than you’d think. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
There are no standout days or breaks. Nothing worth paddling out for. We’ll just have to wait and see if the next forecast brings any hope.
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.
