The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it—this stretch is looking pretty dead for the next couple of weeks. There’s no proper swell window, and when the waves do show, the wind’s usually ruining them. You won’t find a clean, glassy day in the bunch, so if you’re keen, manage your expectations.
The first bit of surf we see is around Thursday the 17th, with 5ft from the west, but it’s short-period (6 seconds) and onshore. It’s messy, lumpy, and honestly, not worth getting wet for. Moderate energy (149), but it’s all chop.
That fades quickly, and we’re back to small, weak waves through the weekend. Then Sunday the 20th brings another push—6ft from the west on Sunday afternoon, with onshore winds at 22 mph. It’s raw and bumpy, more for the kites than the paddlers. Energy picks up (288), but it’s still a mess.
Monday the 21st is the biggest we get—8ft from the west-northwest early on, with a period of 7 seconds. Strong energy (590), but again, onshore and fresh breeze. At that size, it’s expert-only, and even then, the quality’s poor. Not a day for the faint-hearted.
After that, it drops off fast. The 22nd and 23rd have some leftover swell—up to 7ft on Wednesday the 23rd—but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. Then it fades. From the 24th onward, we’re back to ankle-biters, and the 29th is completely flat. No energy at all.
The only spot in the mix is Mellbystrand, a sheltered, beginner-friendly beach break. It’s fairly consistent but rarely breaks with any size. Water’s at 61°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing wild, but you’ll notice it.
Best bet? Probably early Monday the 21st, despite the onshore wind, just because there’s some size. But don’t expect any magic. Otherwise, save your energy. The next two weeks are a bust for decent surf.
Stay patient, keep watching the charts, and something better will come.
Rusty.

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