Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking down a long, empty barrel for the most part. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. It's the kind of run that reminds you why you keep a back-up hobby.
Right out of the gate, the first recommendation isn’t until Tuesday, July 7th. Before that? Forget it. We're looking at tiny, weak swells with dodgy winds – a total write-off.
Now, Tuesday the 7th, the morning shows a glimmer. We're looking at a beach/jetty setup with some weak energy, just 3 ft of easterly swell (67 combined energy). The wind is a light cross-off from the WNW, so it could be clean. But honestly, the model is calling it “surfable but very ordinary,” and I can't argue. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only comfort you'll get.
That tiny window closes fast. The rest of the week and into the next is just a parade of poor surf conditions. We get a bit more energy on Monday, July 14th – a 3 ft swell from the ESE with 123 combined energy, but it’s cross-on, choppy, and likely sloppy. Not worth the paddle out.
The only other blip on the radar comes much later, on Friday, July 17th. The afternoon shows a clean, cross-off wind from the SW and a 4 ft southerly swell hitting 123 combined energy. That's the biggest pulse in the whole window, and it's clean. That’s your best bet, but it’s so far out, you gotta take it with a grain of salt. For the deep south swells, you’d want a point or reef to make the most of it, but for this beach/jetty it might offer up a few fun ones if the period is right.
In short, if you’re desperate, aim for the morning of Tuesday the 7th for a clean but tiny session, or keep your fingers crossed for the afternoon of Friday the 17th. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a "stay home and wax your board" kind of outlook.
Rusty.

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