The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat and quiet right now. The first sign of any surf we’ve got is for Wednesday the 15th of July, down at Maslin Beach. Even then, it’s a real slow start. The swell is tiny, only 1ft, coming from the WSW with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (12), so don’t be expecting much push. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Wednesday morning has a light cross-shore from the north at 3 mph, which isn’t terrible, but it’s not clean. The afternoon is actually glassy, dead calm, which is a positive, but still, with surf that small, it’s a struggle to get a ride. The break is a beach and reef setup, inconsistent, and best for beginners.
Thursday the 16th is more of the same – 0.7ft, WSW, 8 seconds, and glassy conditions both morning and afternoon. The energy drops to just 6, so it’s barely a ripple. Friday the 17th is even smaller, down to 0.3ft, with a clean morning but again, nothing to get excited about.
We then go through a long stretch from Saturday the 18th all the way through until Wednesday the 22nd of July with nothing but 0.3ft to 0.7ft slop. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell is practically non-existent. It’s a real gap of about 5 days with no real surf.
On Wednesday the 22nd, we see a sniff of something bigger – 2ft from the NW, but with a period of only 4 seconds. That’s a short-period, messy windswell. The wind is a moderate cross-shore at 12 mph, creating a bit of a cross-chop, so the quality is poor. Not a day for a paddle.
The rest of the week into the end of July stays consistently flat. Thursday the 23rd has a 2ft WSW swell, but it’s cross-onshore. Friday the 24th has 1ft, and it’s onshore. There’s a glimmer on Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th with a glassy morning, but the swell is back to 0.3ft.
So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there’s no standout. If I had to pick the least worst moment, it’d be Wednesday the 15th of July afternoon, when it’s glassy, even if the waves are tiny. For a beginner, it’s a safe, clean paddle, but for anyone else, this is a full-on flat spell. There’s no good surf on the horizon in this 16-day window.

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.
