The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking bleak. We’ve got a solid run of days coming up where the surf is just... flat and messy. There’s a bit of swell on the horizon, but the winds and the energy just aren't lining up to give us anything worth paddling out for.

The heart of the issue is that we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf, mostly under 3 ft, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what little shape there is. The combined energy is mostly weak, sitting in the double digits, and the wave comments just say “poor surf conditions” over and over. It starts off today, August 2nd, with a weak 2 ft easterly swell at 8 seconds and a cross-off wind, but even then the energy is a paltry 35. It’s just not enough to get excited about.

We have to wade through this weak slop for the better part of a week. The first few days of the week, while the energy stays weak, there are some windows with light winds, maybe a touch cleaner, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. By August 6th, we see the energy climb just over 100, but the wind turns onshore and the quality stays poor. It’s like the ocean is teasing us. By August 7th, the swell tries to build to 4-5 ft, and the energy jumps to 129 and then 256, but it’s all coming from the east with onshore winds. It looks like more of a blown-out mess than a surfable wave.

There’s no standout here. Honestly, I wouldn't even call it a secondary option; it's all primary bad. The only thing that slightly catches the eye is the energy jumping up on the 7th, but with the wind, it's just going to be lumpy and closed out. I'd say if you're desperate, maybe the early morning of August 8th will have some shape to it, but you'll be fighting the cross-onshore for it. This looks more like a stretch for the kitesurfers to be honest – there's plenty of wind and some chop, but for a paddle surfer, it's a write-off.

This poor run of surf extends all the way through the second week. The swell drops right back down, and the energy collapses into the single digits. There are a few moments with light, clean winds, especially around August 13th and 15th, but with waves around a foot high and next to no energy, it's not even a knee-high dribble. It's a long, flat spell. We're talking days and days of nothing.

So, the long and short of it is: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a blank run, plain and simple. For this area, that can be the case. The only thing we can do is wait for the pattern to shift. Forecasts change, and it rarely stays this poor for long. But for now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the drawer.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
