The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be honest, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead for Maslin Beach. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The whole window is a long, flat spell with no real surf to speak of – not a single session that’d get a nod from anyone who’s keen. We’re talking almost two weeks of nothing, from the 17th of July right through to the 1st of August.
The only flicker of something happens around the 23rd of July, Thursday morning, when a short-period, wind-affected swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW. But the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 15 mph, the period is a weak 5 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate (73). It’s choppy, messy, and honestly, better suited for a kite than a paddle. That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook, but the quality is poor.
Most days you’ll see tiny waves – 0.3ft to 2ft – with periods under 10 seconds and combined energy barely creeping into double digits. There’s some glassy mornings here and there, like on the 24th of July, Friday morning, but with only 1ft of swell from the WSW, you’d be scratching for a ride. The 29th of July, Wednesday morning, also looks glassy with 0.7ft, but again, it’s flat.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly, for a break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this run of flatness is pretty normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
