The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the forecast for Maslin Beach.
Honestly, I’m not getting my hopes up for this one. The next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak conditions with nothing really worth paddling out for. The combined energy readings are tiny, barely hitting double digits, staying mostly under 30 and often just a measly 2 or 3. That’s a long, sad run of no real swell.
The first day there’s any swell to speak of is Saturday the 5th, but it’s a mess. The swell jumps to 8ft from the WSW, but with a short period of only 7 seconds, it’s just raw, lumpy power. The wind is onshore at 25 mph, so it’s going to be a washing machine out there. The combined energy is 548, which is solid, but the conditions are pure junk. If you’re a beginner, this is way too big, and even for the experienced guys, it’s just a battle. Might be a better day for the kite surfers.
Sunday the 6th is back to nothing, all the way through to the end of the second week. We get a few days with some clean, offshore wind from the SE, like Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th, with glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft to 0.7ft. You’d be floating on a lake. The water temp is about 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no drama there.
The only slight glimmer is on Saturday the 13th, where we get a 3ft pulse from the NNW with a short period of 4 seconds, and the wind is clean with a cross-off breeze. But the combined energy is only 39, so it’s weak. Nothing to get excited about.
The bottom line is, there’s nothing on offer here for the whole forecast period. You’re better off leaving the board in the car and doing something else.
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.
