The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for No Pass over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, straight up, this is a tough run. The forecast is a long, painful stretch of close to two weeks where the wind just won’t play ball. The first real glimmer of something decent doesn’t show up until mid-month, so we’ve got a big gap of poor surf here.

Let’s start with the first real chance: Friday, the 14th of August. By the afternoon, the wind drops right out to glassy conditions. That’s a major positive. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the NW with a 9-second period, moderate energy (585). It’s still a bit short-period, but when it’s that clean, you can get some fun ones. For a reef break like No Pass, that’s your best bet. The water temp is around 56°, which is about 2° cooler than normal, so nothing too wild, just a bit of a chill.

The following morning, Saturday the 15th, has a touch more size at 3 ft, but it’s coming from the SSW with a much longer 17-second period and good energy (680). That’s a proper groundswell. The issue is a light cross-shore breeze, so it’s not as clean as Friday. This long period stuff can be a bit straight at a beach setup, but on a reef, it should hold up nicely.

Honestly, the standout is that Friday afternoon session. The glassy conditions are rare in this forecast window, and that makes it the pick of the litter. The rest of the first week is just a write-off with cross-onshore winds and choppy, messy conditions. The swell jumps up to 8 ft on the 9th, but with those winds, it’s a washing machine and only for experienced heads.

After the 15th, we’re back into a pattern of poor surf and strong, lumpy winds, so don’t get your hopes up for the second week. It’s a long wait for a short window of clean waves.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
