The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for No Pass over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, I’m going to be honest with you – it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. We’ve got a lot of days where the swell is just too small or the wind is junking it up. The first real window of anything worthwhile doesn't open until the afternoon of Monday the 7th. For a few days before that, from Friday the 4th through to Monday morning the 7th, you’re looking at mostly marginal, tiny surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds, so you can leave the board in the car.
The highlight of the whole forecast is the short window around Monday afternoon the 7th. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we’ll see a clean 3ft of SSW groundswell, with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a proper long period swell, so it’ll have some real shape and push, especially at a reef setup like No Pass. The combined energy is a solid moderate (462) which is about as good as it gets here for this stretch. That afternoon is the standout, no question.
Then we get another little glimmer on Wednesday the 9th. The afternoon looks glassy again with a 2ft SW groundswell and a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, but with that period it might be a little straight at the beach, but at No Pass reef it should line up nicely. Energy is moderate (410). It’s worth a look.
Friday morning the 11th also has potential. Glassy conditions with a 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds. The energy is moderate (535) and the wind is light. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll be clean.
After that, the second week from the 12th onward gets messy. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore for most of it, and the swell mixes up with some short-period NW windswell, which is poor quality. There’s a small window on Friday the 18th with a cleaner 2ft to 2ft SW groundswell and light offshore winds in the morning, but it’s looking marginal. The energy picks up a bit (648) but the swell height is tiny.
Overall, the best bet is Monday afternoon the 7th, with Wednesday the 9th and Friday the 11th as decent backups. Keep your expectations low for the rest of it.
Stay safe out there.
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.
