The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk Mount Cameron — a beach and reef break that’s wide open to the west-southwest. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 57°F for this time of year, nothing wild but you’ll feel it.
First few days are rough. Thursday and Friday have the wind blowing onshore, the swell is big but messy. Thursday morning dishes up 10ft SW swell with 13-second intervals, energy is strong at 3318, but the onshore wind ruins the surface. Not worth paddling out unless you’re on a kite. Friday is better but still cross-on, swell drops to 7ft, still some power but marginal due to wind.
Then Saturday, August 1st – this is the one. Morning brings a light cross-offshore N wind, clean conditions, and a beautiful 10ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period. That’s very long period groundswell, deep water energy, perfect for the reef. The energy jumps to 4742 — punchy, lined up, and clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers. The afternoon builds to 12ft with even more energy (6851), but a cross-shore breeze kicks up some chop.
Sunday morning stays clean with a cross-off N wind at 15 mph, 12ft from the WSW with 16-second periods. Heavy, powerful sets, but again only for those who can handle the size. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” so you might have some company.
Monday afternoon gets wild – 18ft of WSW swell with a cross-on wind and rain. That’s a dangerous, messy wall of energy. Not a paddle session, more of a watch-from-the-cliff situation.
Now look ahead to Friday, August 7th. Glassy conditions with a light east breeze, no wind ripples, and a 12ft WSW swell with 14-second period. Energy is at 5169. This is exceptional for expert surfers. The reef will have clean, powerful lines. This is the second real standout.
Saturday 8th stays good with offshore NE winds at 15 mph, 8ft swell, still solid for intermediate to experienced. Clean faces, and the crowds are only sometimes an issue.
After that, the second week gets blown out again with onshores, rain, and building wind from the NW and W. August 14th sees a massive 15ft SW swell with a 19-second period, energy hitting 14630, but with strong onshore winds it’s a dangerous mess. No go.
Best windows: Saturday August 1st morning and Friday August 7th morning – clean, long-period groundswell, light or offshore winds. Expert territory. Reef will handle the long period well.

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.
