Table - best surf conditions forecast for Marlin over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you.
Looking at the next 16 days for Marlin, it’s a tough stretch. The overall pattern is one of relentless cross-onshore or onshore winds and poor surf conditions that just don’t let up. The swell energy is there at times, but the quality is hammered by the wind. For the first week, from Thursday the 9th right through to Wednesday the 15th, we’re looking at a grim run of poor surf. The swell is small to moderate, with combined energy ranging from a weak 100 to a moderate 546, but every single session is written off by the wind. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real spark of hope doesn’t show up until the second week. On Friday the 17th of July, we see a bump in size. The morning brings a 5 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the SE at 12 mph, making it choppy. The combined energy is a solid 656, which is moderate to strong, but the wind just ruins the shape. The afternoon is similar, 5 ft, but still cross-onshore. This is pure paddle-surf torture, but for someone with a kite, it might actually look interesting.
The only standout I can see in the whole window is on Thursday the 24th of July. The morning brings a 7 ft swell from the ESE, combined energy of 556. That’s a significant bump in size, but it's a short-period swell at 8 seconds, and the wind is still onshore from the ESE at 9 mph. The forecast calls it marginal, and that’s being generous. At 7 ft with a short period, it’s going to be a bumpy, closed-out mess at a beach break. Definitely not for beginners, and even for experts, the wind and short period will make it ugly. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s a long way off and the wind needs to change.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, I’d be looking for another hobby. The forecast is a long, blank run of poor quality. For an area like this, it’s a normal part of the season, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. The wind is the enemy here, and it doesn’t look like it’s backing off.
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.
