The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for No Pass. Straight up, this is a tough stretch. We’re staring down a long dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for, so don’t be in a rush.
The water is sitting at 59°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the waiting won’t be cold.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 24th through the weekend and into the next week, it’s just constant cross-onshore winds with a messy, choppy sea state. The combined energy is moderate (around 1337), but with a 24-second period on a reef, it’s just too straight and the wind kills it. The crew calls it "marginal" at best, and honestly, it’s a pass for me.
That grim pattern holds right through the end of July and into the first week of August. The wind just doesn’t let up – fresh cross-onshore breezes are the norm, making the surface lumpy and ugly. The swell gets a little bigger around the 3rd of August, with waves hitting 10ft, but that’s a raw, short-period NW windswell with a fresh breeze on it. That’s a kite session, not a paddle session. The energy jumps up to a strong 2331, but it’s ugly.
Then, finally, a glimmer. On Thursday the 6th of August, things start to settle. The wind drops right off, and by Thursday afternoon we get a glassy surface. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NW at 10 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 793. This is the best window in the whole outlook. It’s still a bit of a gamble this far out, but if it holds, that afternoon will be the standout.
Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August keep that hope alive with light winds, but the swell is backing down to 5ft. Saturday afternoon turns glassy again, with clean 5ft NW swell. That’s a proper session if the forecast holds.
So, the short story: a long, ugly gap of about 12 days with no real options, then a promising finish. The best bet is that glassy Thursday afternoon on the 6th of August. It’s the only time the stars align, and on a reef, a clean, glassy 6ft NW swell is worth the wait.
Stay patient.
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.
