Moruya Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day crew, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for the region around Moruya Rivermouth. The first week has some clean moments, but the real standout is shaping up for down the track. The water’s sitting at 63°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a nice little bonus to start with.

The pattern kicks off Saturday morning, July 25th, and it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a small 3ft SSE swell pushing in with a 10-second period, but the wind is a light westerly offshore, making for clean little waves. The combined energy is moderate at 143, so it’s surfable but pretty ordinary. The arvo turns messy with an onshore easterly – best left alone.

Sunday, July 26th is where things perk up. A glassy morning with a 3ft south swell, 10-second period, and zero wind – that’s about as clean as it gets for this break. The energy bumps up to 203, moderate but solid enough. It’s a really good window for a beginner-friendly session. The afternoon turns onshore again, so get it done early.

Monday, July 27th is another glassy start with a tiny 2ft SSE swell and a short 8-second period – low energy at 82. Surfable but very small. The arvo gets chopped out with a cross-onshore northeasterly. Tuesday, July 28th sees a steep drop to 0.7ft with a long 15-second period, energy down to 35. It’s clean under a westerly offshore but there’s virtually no wave to ride.

Wednesday, July 29th brings a bump: a 5ft south swell with a short 6-second period, energy of 231. The morning has a clean cross-offshore wind, so expect punchy, crumbly waves – not the best shape, but there’s size for a fun paddle. This might be a bit much for beginners. Thursday and Friday stay small and clean but nothing special, with 3ft to 3ft SSE swells.

Then there’s a real dry spell from Saturday, August 1st through Sunday, August 2nd – we’re looking at 0.7ft to 1ft with almost no energy. A blank run of a couple days there.

Now, the *real* standout. Monday morning, August 3rd, is the absolute pick of the whole 16-day window. The Moruya Rivermouth will be firing with a 6ft SSE swell, a 10-second period, and massive combined energy of 996. The wind is dead calm – glassy as. This is a solid groundswell that could see some nice lines wrapping into the river mouth, and the energy is strong. Keep in mind, 6ft starts to push it for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the morning to circle.

After that, the following week is a bit more ordinary. Tuesday August 4th has a 4ft to 6ft easterly swell with moderate energy and clean cross-off winds – surfable but not pristine. Wednesday August 5th is similar with 4ft and clean conditions. Thursday and Friday stay around 2ft to 3ft with clean cross-off winds but nothing to get excited about. Saturday August 8th has another decent morning: 5ft northeasterly swell, glassy, energy of 362 – an option but not as strong as that August 3rd window. Sunday August 9th is just messy with rain and strong winds.

So if you’re picking, grab that Monday August 3rd morning at Moruya Rivermouth – it’s the standout session with heavy energy and perfect wind. The rest is just small, clean paddles or average conditions. Crowds can turn up here sometimes, so for that Monday, get in early.

Rusty.
