Mewslade Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Mewslade Bay, and to be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. We’re looking at a long spell of small, weak swell and funky wind for most of the next two weeks, but there are a couple of moments where it might just line up.

Right from the start, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are total duds – tiny waves and nasty conditions. Not worth the walk. Wednesday the 12th shows a little something by the afternoon. Swell is only 2ft from the WSW with a 10-second period, but the wind goes glassy, dead still. The combined swell energy is still low (96), but it’s clean and rideable. If you’re really itching, that’s your window, but keep your expectations low.

Thursday the 13th morning is the best of the first week. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the WSW, still a 10-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. Combined energy hits 184, so there’s a bit more power. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Clean, rideable, small waves. The afternoon gets trashed by a fresh cross-shore wind though.

After that, it’s a long, flat gap. From Friday the 14th all the way through to Wednesday the 20th, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and messy. Swell hangs around 1ft to 2ft, short periods, and the wind is all over the place. Nothing to write home about.

Then, Wednesday the 19th morning gives us another glassy moment. Swell is 3ft from the WSW with an 8-second period, combined energy of 114, and dead calm winds. Clean, but again, very average. That afternoon the swell jumps to 4ft, but the period drops to a terrible 5 seconds – just lumpy and weak.

Thursday the 20th morning is offshore but tiny – 3ft with a 6-second period. Clean, but barely breaking.

Now, here’s the one you want to circle. Tuesday the 25th morning. This is the clear standout of the whole 16-day forecast. Swell hits 4ft from the WSW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy leaps to 249 – that’s some proper push finally. And the wind? Dead calm, glassy. Water temp is about average. The swell direction is perfect for Mewslade Bay, and with those clean, glassy conditions, this will be the best surf of the fortnight. The period is moderate, so it won’t be super powerful, but it’ll be fun and clean. It’s a popular spot when it’s good, so expect some company.

So, bottom line: the first week has a couple of very average, clean windows, but most of it is flat and poor. The real gem is Tuesday the 25th – that’s your day. It’s long-range, so keep watching the charts, but that’s the one to aim for.
