The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Medewi.
First thing you need to know: the water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Alright, look, the honest truth is that the first week or so is a bit of a washout. We’ve got swell coming in from the SSW, right in the sweet spot for this place, but the wind is a constant problem. It’s cross-on or cross the whole time, and that’s keeping the surf chopped up and messy. The energy is there, with moderate combined swell energy (713) on Friday 31st July, building to a strong 1456 by Sunday 2nd August, but it’s just not clean. The scores are low, and the conditions are described as poor or marginal. I’d say sit it out for the first few days. There’s a gap of quiet, average surf until we get towards the end of the first week.
For the standout, we have to look at Tuesday 11th August. That’s the one that’s got my attention. The swell jumps up to a solid 10ft from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds – that’s a proper long-period groundswell with serious energy. The combined energy is a massive 5932, so you know there’s power in the water. Now, the wind is still cross-on from the SSE, but it’s only a gentle breeze at 9 mph, so it’s not going to ruin it completely. It’s a marginal forecast, but with that size and period, Medewi’s point will be handling it. This is big, powerful stuff – over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the beach for this one.
After that, the swell drops back down a bit, but there’s another pulse on Saturday 15th August, with 8ft from the SSW and an 18-second period, and combined energy of 3892. Again, the wind is cross-on, but it’s gentle. It’s a similar story – big, powerful, and only for those who know what they’re doing.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off thanks to the wind. The real action, the only real standout, is Tuesday 11th August. That’s your best bet. Get it while it’s big, but be respectful of the power. The 15th is also promising, but it’s a bit smaller. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because the swell direction is perfect, and if that wind drops off, this place will fire.
Rusty.

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.
