The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the local stretch.

Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a grim run for Marlin. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for surfers. There’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid two-week blank stretch. From Thursday the 23rd of July, right through to Friday the 7th of August, every single forecast slot is marked as poor surf conditions. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, coming from the east or southeast, blowing straight into the face of the swell and chopping everything up. The swell direction is mostly ESE, which is well off the optimum southerly direction for this spot.

The combined swell energy does kick up a bit from the 3rd of August onwards, peaking at 639 (moderate energy) on the morning of the 4th of August, with swell heights up to 6 ft on the 6th of August. But with the wind ruining it and the period stuck at a weak 8 seconds, it’s just a messy, onshore wall. At this point, with consistent onshore wind and a beach setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temperature is about 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting on the beach.

Honestly, it’s just one of those blank runs for the area. The forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.

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.
