The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this sixteen-day stretch is looking like a flat spell for the region. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing when it comes to rideable waves. There's a prolonged gap from the start right through until the end of the period, with no surfable energy on offer.
Looking at the numbers, the swell is just not showing up. Heights are tiny, mostly struggling between 0.7ft and 3ft, and the periods are all over the place but often short and weak. The combined energy readings are all in the double digits, with the highest being a measly 74 (moderate cross-shore) on the 5th of September, which is still attached to a "poor surf conditions" tag. Wind is a mixed bag, with some glassy mornings on the 31st of August, the 1st and 2nd of September, but with no swell to clean up, it's a total waste of perfect conditions.
The only break on the menu is a beginner-friendly beach/jetty setup that's consistent and exposed to the NE. The optimum swell direction is NE, so when the swell does eventually show, it's got the right angle. But right now, it's just not happening. The water temperature is running much warmer than normal, a full 3°C anomaly, which is very unusual for this time of year.
Honestly, it's a tough outlook. There's simply nothing to recommend. The blank run looks to be the norm for this area given the current forecast. Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
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.
