The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down in the old measurements. The main spot is Medewi, a classic beach and point set-up. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The first few days are a bit rough, with a persistent cross-onshore wind from the SE and SSE making things choppy. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are a write-off, with poor surf conditions and a moderate breeze. Thursday the 27th is still marginal, with a light cross-onshore wind and small ripples, but the swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW with a very long 16-20 second period – that’s real groundswell energy, but it’s breaking a bit straight on the beach sections. The combined energy is moderate (651-990).
Now, Friday the 28th is where things start to get interesting. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period. That’s a solid 6ft running, and the combined energy is strong (1904). The wind is still a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a big step up. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th see the swell back off a bit, with the wind staying cross-onshore, making it marginal.
The real standout is shaping up for Tuesday the 8th of September. The swell is 5ft-5ft from the SSW, with a very long 19-20 second period. The combined energy is very strong (2502). The wind is light from the S in the morning, almost offshore, with just small wind ripples. That’s going to be clean and lined up. This is a long-period groundswell, so the point at Medewi will handle it well. It’s going to be a cracker of a morning. The crowds are “sometimes” here, so there might be a few out, but it’s worth the paddle.
Wednesday the 9th still has some decent 6ft swell, but the wind turns slightly cross-on again, so it’s not as good.
So, the best of the run is Tuesday the 8th of September, first light. That’s the one to circle. The rest of the window is either too messy or too small. Friday the 28th is a solid second option if you can handle the wind.

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.
