Maslin Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Maslin Beach. I’ve looked over the next 16 days, and honestly, this stretch is a tough one for us. The surf is going to be either flat or tiny for nearly the entire run, and when there is a little bump, it’s generally messy. We’ve got a long, quiet spell ahead.

Right now, the outlook is rough. Starting from today, there’s barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell is just not cooperating.

For the first week, from the 6th through to the 12th, the swell is tiny, mostly around 0.3ft to 1.0ft from the WSW or SW. The combined energy is weak, values like 31 and 9, which is barely a pulse. The wind is a mixed bag with some glassy or clean moments, but with no swell, it doesn’t matter. We’ve got a few days of offshore or cross-off flow, like on the 11th with a glassy morning, but the swell is only 0.3ft. It’s just not worth paddling out.

We hit a bit of a spike on the 14th, where the swell from the WNW bumps up to 3ft, and the combined energy jumps to 43. That’s the biggest we see for a while, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-on or onshore, turning it into a choppy mess. Poor surf conditions all the way. The morning of the 14th has light cross-shore wind, but that little pulse of swell is just too weak and short-period to make anything decent.

The 18th sees another pulse, with a 4ft swell from the north on Friday morning, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, and the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph. The combined energy reaches 52, but it’s just blown-out, onshore junk. Not a surfer’s wave. That’s the biggest height we see, but it’s a total write-off for paddle surfing. The setup here is a beach and reef, but with that strong onshore wind and short-period swell, this is more of a kite-surfing day than anything else.

The 19th and 20th are similar – fresh, lumpy cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The 21st finally shows a glassy morning with a light onshore, but the swell is gone again, down to 1.0ft. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the energy is only 19.

There is no standout session here, not one. The entire 16-day window is a write-off. The best you could hope for is a quick, knee-high dribble on the 14th morning if the wind stays light, but it’s inconsistent and the period is short. For a beginner spot, the 4ft on the 18th is too big and messy for learning.

Maslin Beach is a pretty exposed spot, looking for a SW swell, but it’s just not getting any love this run. This is a classic quiet spell for the area. Stay patient; it’ll change.
