The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve been staring at the charts for this region and it’s a pretty grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking flat, weak, and frankly, not worth paddling out for. The first few days from Sunday the 2nd right through to the end of the second week are just a run of poor surf conditions. There’s no real swell to speak of, and what little energy shows up is spoiled by onshore winds.
The only break on the cards is Monster Hole, a beach and reef setup open to NNE swells. But here’s the problem: the swell is tiny, mostly 1 ft to 5 ft, but the period is short, sitting between 5 and 8 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy is weak, ranging from just 20 to 287 (moderate at best), and even the highest energy days are paired with cross-onshore or onshore winds. Water temperature is about 81°, which is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year – about 3° off the average.
For the first week, from Sunday the 2nd through to Saturday the 8th, the swell bumps up slightly, but it’s poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the waves will be lumpy and messy. The best you’ll see is a 5 ft, 8-second easterly windswell on Saturday the 8th, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth the effort.
Then from Sunday the 9th onward, it drops off again. By the second week – from the 10th to the 17th – the swell is back down to 1 ft to 3 ft, with energy in the low 20s to low 70s. The wind is still cross-onshore or onshore most of the time. A couple of mornings on the 16th and 17th do have glassy or cross-off conditions, but with only 1 ft of swell at 8 seconds, it’s flat and gutless.
There’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the only glimmer is on the afternoon of Sunday the 16th, when it’s glassy and clean with a little 1 ft ESE swell. But honestly, you’d be better off doing something else. This is a classic blank run for this area – it happens. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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