Mompiche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ up for Mompiche.

Things are pretty flat and ordinary for the next week and a half. There’s a long gap of mostly small, weak swell and off-wind conditions that won’t give you much to sink your teeth into. We’ll see some small, surfable windows, but nothing worth calling a standout until the final days of the outlook.

Friday 23 July – Thursday 24 July is where the spark finally shows up. Friday morning the 23rd, we’ve got a clean 4 ft swell out of the SW, period around 9 seconds, with light cross-offshore winds from the SW at 9 mph. Combined energy sits at 279 (moderate). The break’s a consistent exposed point, optimum swell from the NW but we’re gettin’ SW – it’ll still work, just not at its absolute best. Saturday morning the 24th bumps up a notch: 3 ft SW swell, period 10 seconds, still clean with that same gentle cross-off breeze. Energy jumps to 432 (moderate) – that’s the best combo of size, clean surf, and good energy in the whole run. Surf’s good enough for advanced surfers, but the 3 ft is approachable for strong intermediates too. Crowds can show up sometimes, so you might have a few friends out there, but it won’t be a madhouse.

Earlier, there are brief clean moments like Wednesday 15 July morning (2 ft, 16-second period, 183 energy) and Thursday 16 July morning (2 ft, 12-second period, 179 energy), but the swell’s tiny and the scores are low – just surfable, not exciting.

From Sunday 20 July into the midweek, the swell energy gradually climbs into the 200–300 range, but the winds stay cross or cross-on with a bit of chop, and the wave quality never really hits its straps. By Monday 27 July, the combined energy hits 537 (strong) with a 3 ft WSW swell and 19-second period, but it’s labelled marginal with light cross-shore ripples – not the clean offshore we’d want.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on.

So, the pick of the bunch is Thursday 23 July and Friday 24 July mornings – that’s your best shot at clean, fun waves with some energy behind ’em. Everything else is a waiting game.

Rusty.
