The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same spot, different numbers. No Pass reef, and the forecast for the next two weeks is a tale of two winds: good swell, bad wind. The water’s sitting at about 59°F right now, which is pretty normal for the start of September.
The first little gem is on Wednesday afternoon, the 9th. We're looking at a clean 2ft swell coming from the southwest with a long 19-second period. The combined energy is moderate, but the wind is going to be glassy, so it’s a great chance to get some clean, fun waves on an intermediate-friendly board.
Then we hit a dry spell. From the 10th through the 18th, it’s a lot of choppy, cross-onshore junk. The swell is still around with readings in the 600s and 700s, but the wind just tears it apart. There’s one reprieve on the afternoon of Sunday the 13th where the wind goes calm and we get a clean 4ft wave from the northwest, but at an 8-second period, it’s going to be a bit weak and mushy.
The real king of this forecast is a full two weeks out – Saturday the 19th. We get a big spike to 8ft overnight from the northwest, with the wave energy jumping to 1611, which is strong. The wind looks light offshore from the west, setting up a clean, powerful peak. It drops to 7ft in the afternoon with glassy conditions. That’s expert territory, No Pass at its best, but it’s a long way off so keep your fingers crossed.
Sunday the 20th cleans up with more long-period, glassy surf, but it’s only 2ft to 3ft. A nice, mellow finisher.
So, for the real surf: Wednesday the 9th for the clean small stuff, and Saturday the 19th is your target if you’ve got the skill and the patience to wait for it. The rest is just watching the wind howl.
Rusty.

Information about the No Pass Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for No Pass provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at No Pass can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our No Pass 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 (No Pass) 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 No Pass 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.
