The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I’m not gonna lie to ya – this is a rough run for Maslin Beach. The forecast is pretty much a write-off for the whole 16-day window. There’s a massive gap with no real surf to speak of, and when there is a bit of energy, the wind and conditions are just ugly.
We start off on Tuesday the 1st of September with a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is a messy cross-shore. It’s just not worth paddling out for. The pattern continues – Wednesday and Thursday bring onshore and cross-onshore winds, with the swell bouncing around but never lining up. The water temp is sitting at 59°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real bump of energy comes on Saturday the 5th of September, with a 5ft swell from the WSW, and the combined energy hits 212 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is onshore, blowing at 16 mph, and it’s a beach-and-reef setup, so it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. Honestly, this looks more interesting for kitesurfing than paddle surfing. The swell is too big for beginners, and with the wind, it’s only for the die-hards.
Sunday the 6th of September is a bit of a tease – the swell drops to 1ft, but the wind goes glassy in the afternoon. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a weak groundswell, but the wave energy is only 12. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. You’d be sitting on a flat ocean.
Then we hit a proper dead zone. From Monday the 7th of September right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, the swell is either tiny or non-existent. There’s a day with a 5ft swell on Tuesday the 8th, but it’s accompanied by a strong 28 mph cross-onshore wind and the combined energy is 260 (moderate). That’s just a washing machine. Not worth it.
The only faint glimmer is on Wednesday the 16th of September, when a 4ft W swell rolls in with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 106 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s fairly choppy. It’s not great, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a long time. Still, for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a long, bleak stretch.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout session here. The whole 16 days is a dud. If you’re desperate, the 5ft on Saturday the 5th might be worth a look if you’re a local who knows the bank, but don’t expect anything clean. The rest of the time, you’re better off waiting for the next system.
Stay patient, mates. It’ll come around.

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.

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.
