The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s brewing for No Pass.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – things are pretty grim to start. The first week of this outlook is a write-off. Wednesday the 29th to Sunday the 3rd of August is just poor, messy conditions. We’ve got a moderate to fresh cross-onshore wind from the NW churning things up, making it choppy and lumpy. The wave energy is all over the place, but it’s all poor surf conditions. You’d be wasting your time.
Now, there’s a flicker of hope starting Monday the 3rd afternoon, but it’s still marginal with a cross-on breeze. The real turnaround looks to be Tuesday the 4th of August. We get a brief window of glassy conditions. The morning of the 4th, it goes dead calm, with the wind swinging light from the WSW. The swell settles to 6ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. This is your best chance for the whole run. It’s not a huge swell, but glassy conditions on a reef break like this are a rare treat. That’ll be clean. Worth a look.
Wednesday the 5th afternoon also shows a glass-off, with 5ft NW swell and zero wind. That’ll be clean too, but the energy is a step down.
Beyond that, it’s a mixed bag of marginal and poor conditions all the way to the 13th of August. There’s some more glassy windows on the 6th afternoon (6ft NW swell) which sounds promising, but overall the consistency isn’t there. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a tough run.
Honestly, for No Pass, your only standout is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean on a reef. If you can’t make that, there’s not much else.
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.
