The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
It’s a lean run ahead. The only break we’re looking at is Moruya Rivermouth, a river-mouth that’s fairly consistent and open to the SE. It’s a beginner spot, but you might have company.
Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are no-go—onshore winds, chopped up, poor surf.
Thursday the 27th morning is the first real chance. Swell runs 4ft from the south, 8-second period, and it’s glassy. Wave energy is moderate (349). It’s small but clean, with an offshore ESE breeze. That’s your best window.
Friday the 28th morning has a slightly longer 10-second SSE swell at 4ft and stronger energy (399), but the wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be as clean.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th drop to around 2ft glassy in the mornings, but energy is weak (111 and 103). Longboard territory.
From Monday the 31st through Wednesday the 2nd of September, it’s mostly poor—tiny swell, bad wind.
Thursday the 3rd of September onward stays poor. A short window on Friday the 4th morning shows 3ft glassy waves, but energy is still weak (138). It’s ordinary.
If you’re going, Thursday the 27th morning is the pick. Glassy 4ft south swell—clean and rideable. Crowds are possible, so paddle out early.
Second week looks flat and quiet.
Rusty.

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