The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down what’s happening at No Pass.
First few days are rough with that lumpy northwest windswell and cross-onshore winds – not worth your time. Monday and Tuesday are poor. A little tease late Wednesday afternoon with the wind dying off to glassy and a tiny pulse of very long-period SSW groundswell (16 seconds), but it’s only 2ft. Clean, but small.
Things clean up Friday afternoon on the 18th with glassy conditions and a 2ft, 19-second groundswell from the SW. That’s a long-period wave (over 15 seconds), so at a reef like this it should draw nice lines – energy (510) is moderate, so there’s some push. Saturday afternoon the 19th is glassy again with a clean 3ft SW swell (18 seconds) – this is looking good.
Sunday afternoon the 20th has glassy conditions and 3ft swell (19 seconds) with stronger moderate energy (707). This is the first real standout – clean reef waves, low crowds. Monday the 21st afternoon stays glassy with 3ft of SW swell (17 seconds) and solid energy (909) – another beauty session.
Then Tuesday the 22nd afternoon is the big one: 6ft NW swell (10-11 seconds) with glassy conditions and strong moderate energy (979). This is the standout of the whole outlook – big, clean, powerful. It’s over 5ft, so experts only really. After that, the surf drops back to 2ft-3ft with clean cross-offshore breezes through the end of the week.
Last highlight is Saturday the 26th morning – 5ft NW swell (9 seconds) with cross-offshore wind and solid energy (692).
Best bet is Tuesday 22nd afternoon for the biggest, cleanest waves. Next best is the glassy Sunday-Monday run on the 20th and 21st.

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.
