The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s look at what’s coming up for Melbourne Beach. I’ve got to be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and blown out, so we’re gonna have to be patient. The water temp is sitting at about 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t arrive until Monday, the 17th of August. We’ve got a solid week of nothing worthwhile before that. On Monday morning, we’ll see a little 2ft easterly swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the west. The combined energy is weak (63), but it’s clean. This is really just a tiny, weak wave for the loggers. The best of the whole run looks like it’ll be the following Friday morning, the 21st of August. We’re looking at a 2ft easterly swell, but it’s the wind that’s the real story – glassy conditions. The energy is still weak (88), but on a day like that, you might be able to find a fun little peel if you’re not too fussy. It’s really the only standout in the whole 16-day window, but it’s a small one, so keep your expectations in check.

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.
