Merewether - Ladies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya.

Alright, let's talk about Merewether - Ladies. Lookin' at the next 16 days, and honestly, it's a bit of a slow burner. We've got a few days of nothin' much to start with, but there's a bit of a pulse buildin' towards the end of the first week and into the second. The real standout, the one you're gonna wanna circle on the calendar, is the Sunday, August 8th and the morning of Monday, August 9th. That's where it all comes together.

The water temp at the moment is sittin' around 65°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothin' wild there.

The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th are tiny, with poor conditions. Thursday the 30th morning shows a glimmer of hope, with a 5ft S swell and clean cross-offshore winds, energy is moderate at 396. That's a decent little window for a sneaky session. Friday the 31st has a bit more size, 5ft to 5ft from the S, but the wind is messy, makin' it a tough call.

We get a bit of a lull again before the good stuff. Sunday the 2nd of August is when things start to get interesting. The mornin' is clean with a 4ft SSE swell and light offshore wind from the NNW. The afternoon is even better, with the swell bumpin' up to 4ft from the SSE, a period of 12 seconds, and energy is strong at 513. That's a very good session on the cards.

Now, the real highlight. Saturday the 8th of August. The mornin' is a dream. Clean, light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, and a solid 6ft swell from the SE. The wave energy is very strong at 697. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 7ft, but the wind swings onshore, so it's a mornin' mission. Then Sunday the 9th of August mornin' is another cracker, clean again with a 6ft SE swell and energy at 713. That's a serious run of good surf. The period is 10 seconds, so it's a nice, workable groundswell. The swell direction is SSE to SE, which pairs well with the break's optimum from ESE.

After that, the wind gets a bit wild on the 10th, with a strong offshore, but it's clean, just not the best size. The window closes out after that.

So, for the pick of the bunch, it's the mornin' of Saturday the 8th of August at Merewether - Ladies. That 6ft SE swell with the light NNW cross-offshore wind and that strong energy will be somethin' special. The second best is the mornin' of Sunday the 9th. Both are clean, solid, and the crowds could be an issue because it's a Saturday, but for the quality on offer, it'll be worth jostlin' for a wave.

Rusty out.
