Miramar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Miramar over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it's a pretty lean stretch for paddle surfing.

Miramar is a beach and reef setup, and for the most part, the conditions just aren't lining up. We're looking at a lot of small, weak swell and winds that are mostly cross-onshore, chopping things up.

Water temp is sitting about average for the time of year.

The best run of conditions looks to be on Saturday the 5th of July morning. It's not going to be big – we're talking a tiny 1ft swell coming from the NW – but with glassy, no-wind conditions on offer, it'll be clean and fun for a beginner or for someone just wanting to get wet. The wave energy is super weak (40), so you'll be scratching for push. It's a consistent spot though, so there'll be something to sit on.

If you can wait, the best quality swell of the whole period arrives on Monday the 14th of July morning. There's a 6ft NW swell with a moderate 11-second period pushing some moderate energy in (656). That's a bit too big for beginners. The catch? It's crossed up with a light cross-onshore breeze, which will take the shine off it a little. It's a marginal call.

Then, hold onto your hat. The real standout is way out there on Saturday the 19th of July morning. That's over a week away, so treat this as a promising whisper, not a guarantee. We've got a 6ft NW swell, glassy calm conditions. The wave energy is strong (433). For the first time, the forecast is saying "expect good surf conditions." That would be the one to circle on the calendar, just be aware it's a long-range call.

In between, we've got a big gap. From the 6th of July through to the 12th, there's almost nothing worth paddling for. The surf stays tiny, the wind is mostly wrong, and it's just a series of "poor surf conditions" days.

Later in the second week, from the 14th onwards, the swell does start to show some life, with that 6ft to 6ft range, but the wind remains a persistent cross-onshore problem. Because the swell is decent and the wind is a factor, and with a beach and reef setup, this might actually look more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle.

Signing off, Rusty.
