The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Mount Cameron. This spot is a proper beach-and-reef setup, but it’s inconsistent – it doesn’t fire all the time, so when it does, you gotta be ready. The water's sitting around 56.8°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no drama there.
We've got a 16-day window, but the first few days are a mixed bag. Saturday the 18th is a write-off – cross-onshore wind and lumpy 10-foot swell, best left alone. Sunday the 19th cleans up a bit with a light cross-off breeze and waist-high 5.2-foot swell, but it's small and the period is 12 seconds, so you'll get some fun little waves if you're desperate. Monday the 20th turns ugly again with cross-shore chop.
Now, Tuesday the 21st morning is where it gets interesting. Glassy conditions, dead calm, and a solid 10-foot swell from the WSW at 13 seconds. The combined energy is 3139 (moderate), and it's calling for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a window – clean, punchy, and the swell direction matches the optimum. But it's a one-off; the afternoon goes to crap.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon through to the end of the following week, it's mostly poor or marginal. The wind gets nasty, swell gets big and messy – Wednesday the 22nd has 11.5 to 13 feet but with onshore gales, and Thursday the 23rd sees 16.4 feet with 22 mph onshore. That's just dangerous, not surfable. The combined energy hits 9634 on Thursday morning – strong, but completely blown out. Friday the 24

Information about the Mount Cameron Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mount Cameron provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mount Cameron can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mount Cameron 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 (Mount Cameron) 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 Mount Cameron 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.
