Moruya Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for the South Coast, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some size coming through, but the conditions are gonna be the real story. The first few days are quiet, but there’s a window of opportunity around Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th that’s worth keeping an eye on.

We’re starting off with Moruya Rivermouth. Saturday the 8th is a write-off, but the water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 63°, which is a nice little bonus. The real story starts Sunday afternoon the 9th. We’ve got a 5ft NE swell pushing in, but it’s short-period at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit jumbled. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, which keeps it clean, but the energy is moderate (384). It’s a marginal call, but it’s the first sign of life.

Now, if you’ve got a flexible schedule, Monday morning the 10th is the standout. The swell jumps to 8ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds, giving it some proper grunt. The combined energy is strong (1021), and the wind is a fresh cross-off from the NNW, keeping the surface clean. This is a solid groundswell, but that size is pushing into expert territory, so it’s not one for the beginners. The river mouth can handle that direction well, but expect it to be a bit straight at times. Tuesday morning the 11th cleans up nicely with a 3ft ENE swell and an offshore wind from the WNW. It’s a smaller, cleaner option with moderate energy (187), and the glassy conditions later in the day will be magic.

After that, the surf drops right off. From Wednesday the 12th through to Thursday the 20th, we’re in a real lull. We’re talking days of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The energy levels are mostly in the double digits, and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, making a mess of things. It’s a long gap of nearly a week and a half with nothing worth paddling out for.

We do get a little pulse on Friday morning the 21st. A 4ft SSE swell rolls in with a glassy start, but it’s short-period (6 seconds) so it’ll be a bit weak and messy. The energy is moderate (149), but it’s not enough to get excited about. The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd is more of the same: tiny, weak swells with onshore winds.

So, to wrap it up: Monday the 10th is your best bet if you’re a confident surfer after some size and clean conditions. Tuesday the 11th is a more manageable, clean option for everyone else. The rest of the window is a flat spell, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a pick-and-choose week.

Rusty.
