The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down. For Melbourne Beach, it's a long, flat, and frustrating run ahead. We're looking at a solid gap of about two weeks where there’s basically nothing worth paddling for.
The first real chance of anything doesn’t show up until the tail end of the outlook. Water temp is around 85°, pretty normal for this time of year.
For the next couple of weeks, the swell is tiny – we're talking 0.6ft to 2ft at best – and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. You’ll see nothing but poor surf conditions. No point waxing your board.
Onto the only period worth your time. On Tuesday the 28th of July, the morning brings a 2ft easterly swell with a 9-second period. The wave energy is still weak, but the wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. That's the best we get, but it’s still pretty ordinary. By afternoon the wind swings onshore and it gets lumpy.
Then on Wednesday the 29th of July morning, we get a drop to 2ft from the east-southeast, but it turns glassy – no wind at all. Might be a few clean little rollers if you’re really keen. Energy is still low though.
Honestly, it's a tough outlook. The only real windows are those two mornings right at the end of the 16 days. Swell is tiny, quality is poor overall. For kite surfers, some of those afternoons with a fresh 18 mph cross-on breeze might be more interesting than paddle surfing.
Hang in there.
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.
