Moruya Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for the Moruya Rivermouth (Moruya-Rivermouth). The water's sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner suit.

Right now, we're in a flat spell. The first few days are a write-off with tiny 0.3ft swell from the SE and a 13-second period that's just not bringing any energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is only 9). That's weak stuff. The wind is offshore and clean, but there's nothing to ride.

We start to see a pulse of life on Thursday the 30th of July. The morning brings a tiny 3ft south swell, period a short 7 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is 113 – moderate, but it's small and the conditions are only ordinary. It's a one-star session at best. The afternoon gets messy with a 5ft SSE swell and a cross-onshore wind, so skip that.

Now, Friday the 31st of July is where it gets interesting. The morning is the standout option. A clean 5ft SSE swell, period 10 seconds, with glassy conditions and a light south-west breeze. The combined energy is 394 – moderate. This is the pick of the forecast. The river mouth should be handling that swell direction well, and with the wind dead calm, it'll be smooth. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 6ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore, messing it up. So hit the morning.

Saturday the 1st of August again has a glassy morning with a 4ft SSE swell, period 10 seconds, and a light NNW breeze. The combined energy is 416 – moderate. It's a solid option, but the Friday morning is a touch cleaner. The Saturday afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind, so you're best off early.

Sunday the 2nd of August holds a 4ft SE swell with a 11-second period in the afternoon, and a light cross-offshore breeze giving clean conditions. The combined energy is 324 – moderate. It's a good afternoon session, but again, not as crisp as Friday.

After that, the surf drops away. Monday the 3rd of August is small at 2ft, and from Tuesday the 4th through to Wednesday the 12th of August, it's mostly tiny, poor surf with weak energy. There's a gap of nearly a week and a half of small, unrideable waves. The combined energy values drop to double digits and low triple digits, and the swell heights are under 2ft. It's a quiet stretch.

Then, on Thursday the 13th of August, we get a late pulse. The morning brings a 4ft south swell, period 10 seconds, with a light cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. The combined energy is 341 – moderate. The afternoon is also good with a 3ft SSE swell and a moderate offshore breeze. It's a promising finish to the window, but it's a long way off and less certain.

Overall, the best on offer is the Friday 31st of July morning: clean, glassy, and a fun 5ft SSE swell. The Saturday 1st of August morning is a close second. After that, it's a long wait until the 13th of August.

Rusty.
