The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it's a flat spell and it's gonna be a long one. Looking at the next 16 days for Maslin Beach, and honestly, there's just nothing to get excited about. The entire forecast window is a bust for surfers.
We've got a run of days straight with no decent waves. The swell is tiny, with most of the time showing heights under 2 feet, and the energy is pathetic. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely cracks double digits, often sitting in the single digits or low teens. It's a total washout. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.
The first couple of weeks are just a write-off. Friday the 24th through to the end of the month has nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the board. Even when the wind goes glassy, like on the morning of Wednesday the 29th, the swell is still a measly 1 foot. It's a tease.
Moving into the first week of August, it's more of the same. The offshore and cross-offshore winds (like from the East and SSE on the 3rd and 4th) would be perfect for clean conditions, but there's no swell to work with. The water temperature is sitting around 58°F, which is about 1°F below the long-term average for this time of year, so it's pretty normal for the season.
The only glimmer comes right at the very end of the forecast, on the evening of Wednesday the 5th of August. There's a brief spike in the afternoon with a 2-foot swell from the North. But it's a short-period wind swell (4 seconds) and the combined energy is only 19. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it would be clean, but it's barely a ripple. It's not worth paddling out for.
To be honest, this setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddleboard. The wind is consistently blowing across or onshore for most of the period, and the surf is just flat. Don't waste the petrol.
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.
