The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. For the South Coast, we’ve got a dead start. From now through to Sunday the 29th of August it’s flat as a pancake—swells of 0.3ft from the SW or W with almost no energy. That’s a few days of not a single wave worth mentioning.
Saturday the 30th through the first part of the following week is much the same. It’s not until the 5th of September that we see some activity, but it’s ugly. On Saturday morning the 5th, the swell hits 6ft from the W at 6 seconds, with cross-shore winds blowing at 19 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 183, but the onshore wind messes up the surface. Saturday afternoon sees the swell jump to 10ft from the WSW at 8 seconds—strong energy at 1132—but the cross-onshore wind picks up to 25 mph. That’s a big, messy, dangerous combo. At that size and wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle spot.
Sunday and Monday continue with 6ft to 6ft and onshore winds. Not good.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is Monday morning the 7th of September. The wind shifts SSE at 22 mph, but it’s cross-offshore, so the surface is clean. The swell drops to 1ft from the WSW, but it’s a long 12-second groundswell. Combined energy is moderate at 101. At that size, you’ll need a longboard and a lot of patience. It’s the best we’ll get, but it’s a struggle.
From the 8th through to the 12th, everything fades back to 0.3ft or less with poor conditions and minimal energy. A dry spell like this is pretty normal for this spot.
Don’t hold your breath. If you want to wet a line, maybe aim for that Monday the 7th, but keep expectations low.
Take it easy,
Rusty

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.
