The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because the next sixteen days are a tough stretch. Honestly, for Maslin Beach, it’s a pretty lean run. We get a tiny bit of swell here and there, but the conditions and the size just never line up to anything worth paddling out for. There's a real quiet spell from the very start, and it stays that way for the whole outlook.
Let’s talk about the water first. Here at Maslin Beach, the water temp is running about average for the time of year. Nothing weird going on there.
Starting from Thursday the 23rd of July and into the weekend, we’ve got small, weak swell – that combined energy is only scraping 20 (20) to 29 (29) at best – with a short, choppy period around 4 to 5 seconds. It’s mostly cross-on or onshore wind, so the surface is going to be ugly. Not worth getting wet for.
We go right through the end of July and into the first few days of August with almost nothing in the water. You’ll see a few spikes of tiny 2ft to 2ft swell around Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August, and the wind turns glassy, which is a beautiful sight. Combined energy is still low, around 9 to 16. It’s super clean, but the swell’s barely there. You could mess around on a foamie or a longboard, but it’s low-tide shorebreak territory. Not a serious surf.
The middle of the first week of August (the 3rd to the 6th) drops off to just 0.3ft. Forget it. A few of those days have clean, light-offshore or glassy conditions, but there is literally no wave to ride. The period stretches out to 9 to 10 seconds, which means there is some deepwater energy, but it’s not breaking at the beach.
There’s no real highlight to call out here, no day where a surfer is going to be stoked. If you were hoping for a session, maybe treat that Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd as a potential glassy practice day on flat water. For anything with a real push, you’re out of luck.
This is one of those blank runs that happens here. Forecasts can always shift, but right now, the card is empty.
Stay patient.

Information about the Maslin Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Maslin Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Maslin Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Maslin Beach 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 (Maslin Beach) 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 Maslin Beach 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.
