The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead for Mount Irvine. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of decent surf. There’s nothing that qualifies as a good option, so I’ll just tell you how it is.
The forecast kicks off with nothing. We’ve got weak, short-period windswell and cross-offshore winds that are just ruining any chance of a wave. The water temp is 85.6°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
From Wednesday 26 August right through to Wednesday 9 September, it’s the same story. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3.3ft, and when it does bump up to 4.6ft or 4.9ft, the wind is still cross-off or cross-shore, and the period is short – 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, with values like 240, 199, 168... all under 1000, so don’t get excited. The comments say it all: “poor surf conditions” over and over.
There’s one session on Sunday 30 August afternoon that’s slightly less bad. The wind goes offshore from the ESE at 15.5 mph, and the swell jumps to 3.6ft from the NE with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is 295, which is moderate. The comment says “expect good surf conditions” but it’s only a 2 out of 10, so it’s still not a standout. The offshore wind is a major positive, making it clean, but the swell is small and the break is a reef and point, so that longer period might actually work alright here. Still, it’s not worth the paddle for most.
The rest is just a grind. The wind stays cross-off or fresh cross-off, the swell stays short-period and weak. On 9 September morning, the swell gets to 6.6ft from the ENE with a 6-second period – that’s a messy, short-period bump, and with cross-off wind, it’s just a washing machine. Combined energy hits 327, which is moderate, but the quality is terrible.
Honestly, there’s no surf to recommend. This is a blank run for the area. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant wind and poor wave quality. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother.

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 Irvine 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.
