The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – for the next week or so, the surf at Moruya Rivermouth is pretty ordinary. There's a bit of small, weak energy around, but most mornings are looking average at best. The swell direction is coming from the optimum (SE), which is good, but the size and period are just not that inspiring.
Now, there is a bit of a saving grace on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd of July. Tuesday morning is looking nice with a glassy 4ft ENE swell (combined energy of 379), and Wednesday morning has a clean offshore breeze with a 3ft swell (combined energy of 212). That's about as good as it gets for the first week. The water temp is pretty much average for winter, so a steamer is your friend.
After that, we hit a real lull from Thursday the 23rd all the way through to Wednesday the 29th. There are days with little waves and crummy winds, and combined energy drops down to triple-digit lows and even into double digits. It's not looking like a good run.
But hold onto your board, because things change in a big way. On Thursday the 30th of July, we get a major pulse of S/SSE swell. The morning session is the standout. A clean, gentle offshore (15 km/h) with a solid 7ft groundswell (period of 12 seconds) will be pumping. The combined energy is a strong 1280. This is expert territory due to the size, but the shape will be excellent. The river mouth will be handling that long-period energy well. The Thursday afternoon swell gets massive at 12ft (energy 5835) but it will be too big and raw for the Rivermouth. Friday the 31st is also too big.
Then we settle down a bit. Saturday the 1st of August morning is glassy with a solid 6ft SSE swell (740 energy) – that's a great session for a wide range of surfers, just watch the crowds as it's a spot that can get busy. Sunday the 2nd of August morning also looks clean with a 5ft SSE swell (569 energy). That's your other solid option.
So, the best on offer this period? It's a toss-up between Thursday the 30th of July morning for the experienced crew, or Saturday the 1st of August morning for a more user-friendly, glassy session.
Rusty.
