Moruya Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s been a quiet patch along this stretch, but there’s a couple of windows worth paddling out for. The coming 16 days kick off with a bit of a nothing burger, but we’ll get a proper morning session or two if you’re keen.

First up, Moruya Rivermouth on Friday the 24th of July is a write-off – small, messy cross-on breeze, not worth the wetsuit struggle. The real action starts Saturday the 25th. Early morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the SSE with a light offshore WNW breeze at 6 mph. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 63°, which is nice. The combined energy’s moderate (147) but the period’s only 10 seconds, so it’s a bit short. It’s surfable but ordinary – nothing to get excited about.

Sunday the 26th of July is the standout. Morning glass-off with a NW breeze at 3 mph, and a 3ft S swell rolling in at 203 combined energy. That’s a solid, clean little runner for a river mouth. The period’s 10 seconds – not groundswell, but it’ll offer some fun shape. Expect good conditions. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and crowds are possible here but not a drama on a winter morning.

Monday the 27th offers a glassy start but the swell’s dropped to 2ft with only 82 combined energy – weak. Afternoon gets messy with a NE breeze and onshore chop. Not worth it.

The middle of the week dries up fast. Tuesday the 28th is tiny, with 0.7ft of slop and a long 15-second period that’ll just straighten out on the bank. Wednesday the 29th sees a bump in the morning – 5ft of S swell (303 energy) but it’s short-period at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit crumbly. Clean with a cross-off breeze, but that size is pushing it for beginners. Thursday the 30th morning cleans up again with 4ft from the SSE (201 energy) and a light SW cross-off – good for a quick session.

After that, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. From Friday the 31st of July right through to Saturday the 8th of August, it’s mostly small, weak, and onshore or just tiny. You’ll see a few 3ft days but the wind’s wrong or the energy’s too low. The only exception is Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon – a clean 5ft NE swell with 363 combined energy, but the period’s only 7 seconds and it’s a cross-off breeze. Still, it’s the best of a quiet second week. Just keep in mind, that’s over a week away, so treat it as promising but not locked in.

Bottom line: Sunday the 26th of July morning is your best bet. Clean, glassy, fun little waves. After that, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
