The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get straight into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next 16 days at Marlin look like a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, quiet gap before anything even worth paddling out for, with no real standout options. The first few days are all poor surf, so you’re looking at a blank run until at least September 10.
For a beginner-friendly spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer. The wind is nearly always cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell direction is mostly from the east, which isn’t what Marlin’s exposed setup wants – it’s best with a south swell.
The first real spike in energy shows up around September 10, Thursday morning, with a solid 8ft swell from the southeast. The combined energy is strong (868), but that’s where the good news ends. The wind is onshore and fresh, gusting to 19 mph, making it lumpy and poor. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not clean. By Thursday afternoon, the energy jumps to 1028, but with fresh cross-onshore winds, it’s a kite-surfing kind of day, not a paddle day.
September 11 and 12 keep the size up – 8ft to 7ft – but still with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temperature is 79° in the first record, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, the whole period is a write-off for quality surf. The only silver lining is that Marlin is usually consistent, so this kind of flat, choppy run is an exception. The forecasts can change. But for now, I’d say leave the board in the car and go do something else.
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.
