The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough run. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There's nothing here that's going to get the heart pumping. We're looking at a long, barren stretch of tiny, weak slop and poor conditions. The first couple of weeks are basically a write-off, a real test of patience.
The first proper bump of energy shows up around the 27th of July, but even that's a mess. It's a north-northwest swell coming through Maslin Beach, which is a beach and reef setup. The swell height gets up to 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is a killer. Monday morning on the 27th has a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the swell direction is from the north, which isn't the optimum southwest direction for this spot. It's still the best of a bad bunch, but it's not a day to get excited about. The wave energy is moderate (167) but the swell period is short, only 5-6 seconds, so it's going to be a bit of a jumbled mess.
Then Tuesday the 28th gets hammered by strong onshore winds from the west, gusting to 22 mph, with rain. The swell drops to 5 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is just gonna tear it apart. It's a total washout for surfing. The combined energy is still moderate (170) but with those winds, it's more of a kitesurfing day than a paddle session.
After that, the swell fades away again into the start of August. There's a few glassy mornings on the 1st and 2nd of August, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft. You'd be floating out there on a lake. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a classic winter lull for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

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.
