The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Mosquito Bay.

It’s a quiet start in the water. The first few days are flat and not worth paddling for, but hang in there. We’ve got a decent pulse of swell arriving from the south around Thursday the 30th of July. Before that, the water temp is doing its thing, feeling pretty standard for this time of year, nothing wild to report on that front.

Thursday the 30th of July is where things get interesting. We’re looking at a solid south swell building through the morning, with clean waves about 6 ft showing up. The wind is gentle offshore from the southwest, so it should be glassy and well-shaped for a point break like this. The combined swell energy is ramping up nicely (649) and it’s got some grunt. By the afternoon, it pushes to 7 ft from the south with light, clean conditions. This is the standout session of the whole run. Mosquito Bay is a consistent point break, so when it’s on like this, you’ve got to get out there. Just be aware, because it’s fairly exposed and a known spot, it can get a few people out – "sometimes" crowded, so expect some company.

Friday the 31st of July keeps the goodness rolling. Another morning with clean 7 ft south swell and a moderate offshore wind. The energy is still pumping (967), solid and powerful. The wave period around 9 seconds means it’s a wind swell, but with that much juice and offshore conditions, it’ll be punchy and fun. The afternoon drops off a bit in size and quality, but the morning is the clear target.

Saturday the 1st of August is still surfable with chest-high 4 ft waves and clean glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is dropping (261). It’s a decent option if you missed the main event.

After that, things get messy again. A bigger swell arrives on Sunday the 2nd of August, around 5 ft from the southeast, but it brings onshore winds and gets choppy. The energy is still strong (623-627), but the wind ruins it for paddling. To be honest, with that much cross-onshore wind and a beach-and-reef setup, this looks more interesting for the kite crew than a surfer on a log.

The following week, from Monday the 3rd of August onward, drops off significantly in quality. We get some small, weak swells and poor winds. There’s a glimmer on Sunday the 9th of August with a 4 ft SE swell and light winds, but the conditions are marginal. It’s a long wait for not much reward. The rest of the window is pretty quiet, with tiny waves and mostly onshore breezes. Not worth getting excited about.

So, to wrap it up: the clear standout is Thursday the 30th of July, with Friday the 31st of July morning as your backup. The rest is a write-off. Get on it while you can.

Rusty.

Information about the Mosquito Bay Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Mosquito Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mosquito Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mosquito Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Mosquito Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Mosquito Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
