The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the No Pass outlook.
Right now, the surf is small and sloppy – about 3ft of SSW swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is light and onshore. Water temp is 57°, which is normal for this time.
The top spot in this whole run is Thursday, September 3rd. That morning gives you a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, and by afternoon it jumps to a clean 5ft from the WNW with glassy, dead-calm wind. Combined energy is strong (873 and 839). For an intermediate on a reef, that’s heaven.
Monday, September 7th is another good one – a glassy afternoon with 6ft from the NW, but the period is short at 7 seconds. It’ll be smooth and clean, though. Combined energy is solid at 637.
The first week has some choppy cross-onshore days from the 4th to the 6th that are best skipped. Then from the 9th to the 12th, we get a big NW swell in the 6ft to 8ft range, but the winds are onshore or cross-onshore, making it rough for a reef. That setup might be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
In the second week, look at Sunday, September 13th and Monday, September 14th. The mornings show 6ft to 8ft from the NW with periods around 9 to 11 seconds, and light cross-shore wind. Combined energy on the 14th is very high (1604) – that’s a strong, powerful swell. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so expect company if it cleans up.
Bottom line: Thursday afternoon, September 3rd, is the absolute standout – glassy, good size, and long period. The rest has some heavy moments but not much in the way of clean conditions for the average surfer.
Rusty out.

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.
