The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Gonna level with you: No Pass is gonna be a tough nut to crack over the next couple weeks. There’s heaps of chop and cross-onshore wind messing things up for long stretches, but there are a few windows where it cleans up proper.

Water temp is 56°, which is about 2° cooler than average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little brisk.

Thursday the 6th starts small and poor, and that carries through Friday the 7th. But Friday afternoon the wind drops to glassy and a long-period 18-second SSW groundswell rolls in. Swell is tiny at 1ft, but with that period and clean conditions, it’ll be lined up and fun on a log. Combined energy is moderate (318). Not a power day, but for smoothness, it’s the first real highlight.

Then the wind turns ugly. Saturday the 8th through Tuesday the 12th is a write-off – moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds, lumpy and choppy, with the swell hitting 8ft on Sunday afternoon. At that size (over 5ft), it’s not for beginners, and with the wind on it, this beach-and-reef setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Combined energy hits 961 (strong) on Sunday, but it’s wasted.

We get another glassy moment on Thursday the 13th afternoon. Swell drops to 5ft from the NW with a 9-second period, wind goes glassy. That’s clean, manageable, and surfable for intermediates. Energy is moderate (533). Not a huge day, but the best of the first week.

Second week is quieter. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see small 3ft SSW groundswells with decent 16 to 17-second periods, but winds are mostly cross-on. Then Sunday afternoon (16th) the wind goes glassy again. Clean lines on that long-period swell. Not much power (533), but a nice, cruisy session.

Monday the 17th morning is a genuine standout. Cross-offshore wind from the ESE, 3ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, clean conditions, and combined energy at 515 (moderate). That’s the pick of the fortnight. Tuesday the 18th morning also looks very good – glassy, 3ft SSW at 15 seconds, clean as a whistle, with moderate energy (647). Crowds are possible at No Pass, so get there early.

The last few days from Wednesday the 19th onward see the swell shifting more WNW, size creeping up to 5ft, but the wind gets messy again with cross-onshore flow and moderate chop. Nothing to get fired up about.

Bottom line: the best sessions are Monday 17th morning and Tuesday 18th morning. Clean, lined-up, and well worth the paddle. The rest is mostly a fight with the wind.

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.
