The Lowdown
Righto folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – the next week or so is looking pretty average around the Moruya Rivermouth. The first few days are a write-off, with messy onshore crud and not much push. It takes a while, but there’s a proper pulse of swell on the horizon that’s worth getting excited about.
Thursday 30th July is a dud. There’s only a tiny 3ft S’ly swell and a cross-onshore wind. The water temp is 63°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, but that’s the only positive.
Friday 31st July morning is where we start to see a flicker of hope. The wind goes glassy from the SSW and there’s a clean 4ft SSE swell. The combined energy is moderate (322) and it’ll be clean. Still not the big stuff, but a fun little session. Saturday 1st August morning is more of the same: dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft SSE swell (237 combined energy). Good for a beginner or a longboard.
The real quality is hiding out in the second week. There’s a solid run from the 9th of August onwards. Sunday 9th August morning is a standout. Glassy NNE wind, a building 6ft SE swell with moderate energy (613), and it’s a rivermouth – perfect set-up for a long period groundswell that will peel nicely. It’s not too big, but the combination of clean conditions and a decent pulse will have the banks working.
But the crown jewel is Monday 10th August. The morning sees a clean 6ft SE groundswell with a long 11 second period and high energy (999). Then the afternoon pushes it to 8ft from the ESE with a very long 12 second period and strong energy (1748). That’s expert territory at a rivermouth, with the potential for some seriously long, lined-up waves. Tuesday 11th August morning is also excellent for experienced surfers with a clean 7ft SE swell (1088) and light offshore winds.
For the rest of the week after that, we’ve got a consistent mix of clean 5ft to 6ft SSE/SE swells, with offshore winds on the 12th and 14th that will keep things tidy. The crowds at the Rivermouth can be an issue sometimes, especially on the good days, so get in early.
The early part of the outlook is a grind, but don’t give up. The 9th, 10th and 11th of August are the real deal. Circle those dates.
Rusty.
