The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Medewi over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long lull of poor conditions with a persistent cross-shore breeze messing things up. The swell is there, but it’s not clean. It’s not until the 1st of August that we start seeing a glimmer of something worth paddling out for, and even then it’s marginal.
The pick of the whole run looks like the afternoon of Saturday the 1st of August. The swell will be a fun 4 ft from the SSW with a long, juicy 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (1030), and the wind settles to a light cross-shore breeze, which will tidy things up. This is the best the forecast offers, but keep in mind it’s still a marginal call, so don’t expect perfection.
Sunday the 2nd of August also shows promise in the morning, with a slightly bigger 5 ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, and light winds. The energy is a notch higher (1399). The afternoon holds similar size and a light cross-shore breeze, making it another decent window. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Moving into the second week, things get a bit more mixed. The swell sticks around, but the wind turns more cross-onshore. From the 4th through the 10th, we’re looking at 4 ft to 7 ft of SSW swell, but the breeze is from the SSE or SE, keeping the surface a bit choppy. The energy levels climb, hitting very strong territory on the 11th of August (3324), but that comes with a 7 ft+ swell and persistent cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, expert-only affair if you’re really keen.
The best bet for a clean, long-period wave is that window on the 1st and 2nd of August. After that, you’re chasing a bit of chop. For beginners, the bigger swells after 5 ft will be a challenge, and anything over 8 ft is strictly for the experienced crew.
Stay hopeful, the sea will turn.
Rusty.

Information about the Medewi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Medewi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Medewi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Medewi 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 (Medewi) 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 Medewi 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.
