The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days at No Pass are looking like a real battle. We've got a solid run of onshore and cross-onshore winds that are going to chop up just about everything. The water is sitting at 57° which is about average for this time of year, not that it'll help much with the messy conditions.
The first real chance of anything decent won't show up until Monday, August 3rd. That morning, we've got some clouds and a stiff NW wind at 6 mph, pushing a 6ft NW swell with a short period of 7 seconds. It's still a cross-onshore mess, so not worth getting excited about.
But then, Monday afternoon on August 3rd is the one true standout. The wind drops to dead calm, going glassy. The swell is 6ft from the NW, with a short 7-second period, but the combined energy is moderate. That glassy surface is the key here – it's the only window in the whole forecast where the wind isn't ruining it. The break is a reef, exposed to the WNW, and the optimum swell direction is WNW, so the NW swell is coming in at a bit of an angle. With the winds being calm, it'll be clean, but don't expect it to be perfect. It's a short period, fat wave, but it's the best we've got. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company.
After that, it's back to the grind. Tuesday morning on August 4th has a slight offshore wind at 3 mph, but the swell is 5ft from the NW with a 7-second period, and the energy is weak. It's a marginal call at best. The rest of the week into the second week is a write-off – fresh to moderate cross-onshore winds, lumpy and choppy, with swell sizes bouncing around 3ft to 5ft but nothing clean. The end of the forecast on August 7th has a 5ft NW swell, but the wind is on it again.
So, there you have it. One glassy session on the 3rd of August. That's your window. The rest you can sleep through.
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.
