Moruya Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a nice little window of clean waves coming for those who are patient.

The first solid action kicks off on Tuesday, 21 July, at Moruya Rivermouth. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy, dead calm. That’s a rare treat. The water is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there. The combined swell energy is sitting at 377 (moderate energy), so there’s enough push to get a fun little wave. The Rivermouth is fairly consistent, and with a crowd profile of “sometimes,” you might have a few mates out, but it won’t be a circus. Tuesday afternoon stays clean too, with a glassy 4ft swell.

Wednesday morning, 22 July, sees a drop to 3ft from the same ENE direction, but it’s a light cross-offshore breeze, so the waves will be clean and lined up. The energy drops to 215 (moderate), but it’s still well worth a paddle. Wednesday afternoon goes properly offshore from the WNW at 15 km/h, with 3ft waves. The wind is offshore, which is a major positive, but the combined energy is down to 162, so it’s a bit smaller.

Thursday morning, 23 July, is still surfable with 2ft waves and a WSW cross-off breeze, but the energy is only 93 (weak). It’s getting small. The rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag with poor conditions and small surf. There’s a gap of a few days where the quality drops right off.

Now, the standout. Jump ahead to Saturday, 1 August. The morning glassy calm returns with a 4ft swell from the SSE, 11-second period, and the combined energy jumps right up to 362 (moderate). The wind is dead calm, glassy again. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook – clean, punchy, and the Rivermouth will be working nicely. Crowds are possible, but it’s worth it.

Sunday, 2 August, is a write-off with strong cross-shore wind, but Monday, 3 August, is another good one. West winds at 15 km/h offshore, 3ft SSE swell, and the energy is strong at 412 (moderate). The afternoon stays offshore with a moderate breeze, clean and fun. After that, it trails off again into smaller, cleaner but ordinary surf.

Overall, the first week is small and patchy, but the three days from Saturday, 1 August, to Monday, 3 August, are the real gems. Get out there if you can.
