The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Maslin Beach.
We're looking at a pretty grim run for the next week and a half. The water temp is sitting at 14° which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and every single session is coming in as 'poor surf conditions' through to the 10th of September. It's a blank stretch, and that's the reality of the spot when it's inconsistent like this. There's a few days where the wind is glassy or offshore, like Monday the 31st of August with a light NE breeze turning glassy, and the 1st of September has a bit of wind but the swell is a pathetic 4 ft from the north with a 4-second period. That's pure windswell, no energy to speak of.
Come Friday the 11th of September, we finally see a flicker of life. The morning has a 6 ft swell from the WNW with a 6-second period and a light SE cross-off breeze. The wave energy is moderate at 227. It's surfable, but it's ordinary. The afternoon gets a bit cleaner with 4 ft from the WSW and an ESE offshore at 6 mph. Not a standout, but it's the first real chance for a paddle.
Now, if you're looking for the best of a bad bunch, it's honestly the 11th of September. That's the only day the score even crawls up to 1. The swell direction is SW, which is what Maslin Beach likes, and with the offshore wind in the afternoon it'll be clean. The short period of 6 seconds means it's not going to have much punch, but it'll be rideable for a beginner. The crowds are often here, so don't expect to have it to yourself.
Everything else is a no-go. The swell is flat, the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak. It's a long stretch of nothing, so don't hold your breath. If the wind gets on it, it's more of a kite setup than a paddle one.
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.
