The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at No Pass. Water temp’s about 58°F, dead average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.
The week starts quiet. Sunday morning you’ve got a long-period SSW groundswell at 4ft with a 16-second period, but the wind’s cross-onshore and it’s choppy. Total energy’s 1246, but it’s not worth rushing out. Monday afternoon cleans up nicely: 3ft of SSW swell, glassy, cross-offshore wind—real nice for a mellow session. Tuesday afternoon is another smooth one: 3ft SSW swell, glassy, clean.
Thursday 3rd September is a proper standout. Morning brings 3ft of long-period SW groundswell (19 seconds), clean cross-offshore breeze, 759 energy. The afternoon jumps to 5ft of WNW swell at 10 seconds, still clean, 914 energy. That afternoon is your best bet of the first week.
Saturday 5th September afternoon is also worth a mention: 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy, 836 energy—just smooth.
Second week gets patchy. Monday 7th morning has 3ft of SSW swell, glassy. Wednesday 9th afternoon serves up 5ft of WSW swell at 9 seconds, glassy—short period but fun. Thursday 10th afternoon is glassy with 3ft of long-period SSW groundswell at 17 seconds and 888 energy.
Then the real gem: Monday 14th September afternoon. You’ve got 7ft of NW swell at 8 seconds, glassy calm, 707 energy. That’s expert-level size, but if you know what you’re doing, that’s the session to target.
Best runs are Thursday 3rd September afternoon and Monday 14th September afternoon. Everything else is small and clean but nothing flash.
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.
