Table - best surf conditions forecast for Melbourne Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ll put it in feet and miles for you.
Right now, we’re looking at a long, flat spell. The first sixteen days don’t have anything worth paddling out for. There’s no real swell, just tiny wind slop that won’t hold you up. This kind of dead run isn’t that unusual here, but it’s still frustrating when you’re itching for a wave.
The only break on the map is Melbourne Beach. The whole forecast through July is tiny. Heights barely reach 2 feet at best, mostly sitting at 0.7 feet to 2 feet, with a short 7- to 9-second period. That’s just wind chop, not a real swell. The combined energy is pathetically low, often sitting between 6 and 55 (very weak). There’s nothing that qualifies as even a mediocre surf day. The water temperature starts at a warm 85°, but with no waves, that’s irrelevant.
For the first week, morning wind windows offer occasional glass (Sunday 12th, Monday 13th, Friday 17th) or offshore conditions, but with only 0.7 feet to 1 foot on offer, you’re not catching anything. Even the cleanest morning is a flat, glassy lake. The afternoons are mostly cross-onshore and choppy. Come the second week, from around July 19th onward, the swell is even smaller, with combined energy dropping to single digits at times. The wind turns cross-offshore more often, but it doesn't matter when there's nothing to ride.
There are no standout days here, no hidden gem, no one to recommend. For the entire 16-day window, the only honest call is to leave the board in the car. Conditions may change, but based on what’s lined up, it’s a complete write-off.
Rusty.

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