The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ down at Moruya Rivermouth over the next couple of weeks. It’s a fun little river mouth break that’s fairly consistent, and it likes a good SE swell to really get going.
So, here’s the deal. Right now, there’s a bit of a wait on. The first decent chance you’ll get is on Sunday morning, August 2. We’re looking at a clean 4 foot swell from the SE, with a solid 12-second period pushing through. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is sitting at a moderate 413, so there’s some real push behind it. The water temp is nice and normal for this time of year, sitting at 62°. Downside is the wind is a light cross from the N, so it’s not glassy, but it’s still surfable. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so keep an eye out if you’re after a quiet one.
Monday morning, August 3, drops right off to only 2 feet with that NW cross-off breeze cleaning it up nicely, but the energy is pretty weak (147) – more of a longboard wave than anything with a punch. Monday afternoon the swell slips a little more to 2 feet.
After that, things get real quiet. Tuesday the 4th through to Friday the 7th is mostly tiny to flat, with the odd bump of 0.7 feet or 1 feet, and the energy drops into the double digits – weak stuff. You’re looking at a solid stretch of no good options.
Now, the one standout in this whole 16-day window is Sunday morning, August 2. That’s your best bet. The swell size is manageable for most, the direction is right for this break, and the energy is there. Don’t sleep on that session, because the rest of the run is pretty grim.
If you’re a beginner, the 4 foot swell is fine – it’s not too big. The period is long, so expect longer lulls between sets, but the waves will have shape. It’s a river mouth, so that long-period swell should wrap in nicely.
After that Sunday, it’s pretty much a write-off until maybe the morning of Monday, August 17, but even then we’re only looking at 2 feet with strong cross-off wind and weak energy. Not worth paddling out for.
To be honest, this is one of those stretches where the forecast could change, but right now it’s a one-session week. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Stay salty.
