The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been through the numbers for Maslin Beach, and I gotta tell ya straight—this 16-day stretch is as flat as a pancake. There’s no surf worth paddling out for from now, starting Sunday the 26th of July, right through to Monday the 10th of August. That’s over two weeks of barely a bump, with nothing even close to a decent wave.
First few days are a total dud. Sunday morning (26 July) has a tiny 0.3m swell from the WSW with a short 5-second period, and the combined wave energy is just a weak 5. Winds are light cross-shore, but there’s no power to work with. Sunday afternoon drops to 0.2m. Monday (27 July) brings some northerly wind, but the swell stays pathetic and lumpy. Tuesday (28 July) shows the biggest swell of the whole run—1.3m to 1.9m from the W, with combined energy hitting 127 to 279 (moderate)—but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and strong, making it choppy and unrideable. This looks more like a kite-surfing setup than anything for a paddle board.
After that, it’s a slow slide. Wednesday (29 July) drops to 0.6m, and Thursday (30 July) goes glassy but with only 0.3m from the WSW at 8 seconds—clean but uncatchable. Friday (31 July) is the smallest day, with 0.1m swells and glassy conditions, combined energy at a pathetic 1. From there to the 10th of August, the swell never climbs above 0.7m. The best wind we see is a clean cross-off on Sunday the 2nd of August with a 1.5m swell from the NNW, but that’s a short-period 5-second windswell and the quality is poor. The combined energy that morning is 113, but with that period and direction, it won’t shape up.
Water temp is 14°C, about 0.7° cooler than average for this time of year—just a touch chilly, nothing unusual. Maslin Beach (Australia) is a beach-and-reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the SW, but it rarely breaks as it is, and this run proves it. The inconsistency is a killer here. It’s not abnormal for this area to go quiet, but it won’t stay poor forever—forecasts can always change.
So, leave the board dry. There are no standout days, no hidden gems. Just a flat spell that’s gonna test your patience.

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.
