The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Medewi over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a pretty gloomy picture for the first couple of days. There's swell in the water, but it's all wrapped in a persistent cross-onshore breeze, making things fairly choppy and hard to enjoy. The water temp is 80°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The real issue is the wind. We've got a solid, long-period SSW groundswell pushing in on Thursday the 13th – 8ft at 16 seconds, with a huge amount of energy (2717). But that SE wind at 9 mph is just messing it up. It's a similar story through Friday and Saturday; the swell is still decent (6ft - 6ft) and the period is long, but the clean conditions we all want are just not there.
The only real standout in this whole run is Tuesday the 18th. The morning looks a bit so-so, but by the afternoon, the wind swings around to a light cross-shore at just 6 mph. The swell is a nice 5ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the wave energy is strong at 2262. This is the best chance you'll get for a clean session. Medewi is a beach and point setup, and with that long period, it'll be offering up some nice, lined-up waves, especially on the point. The crowds can be a problem here sometimes, so get in early.
After that little window, the wind gets messy again. Wednesday the 19th has better swell – 6ft at 18 seconds (energy of 2138) – but it's back to cross-onshore. Thursday the 20th is more of the same. From there, the swell just fades away. We go from 5ft on the 21st down to barely 3ft by the 25th, with the energy dropping right off to around 500-600. The wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore the whole time, keeping things choppy. The last few days of the run, from the 23rd to the 28th, are just poor with no real quality. You'd be hard-pressed to find a fun wave.
So, to wrap it up: the week starts with lots of swell but dirty wind. Your one and only true standout is the afternoon of Tuesday, August 18th. Grab it while you can, because after that, the window slams shut for a good long while.
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.
