The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through what’s cooking at No Pass, no need for fancy talk. A whole lot of days here aren’t worth a look, but a couple of windows will make up for it.
First off, from Monday the 24th, we’ve got some small, long-period groundswell from the southwest at 2ft, but with light cross-shore wind, it’s just not happening. The combined energy is moderate at 365, but the forecast says marginal. Tuesday the 25th through the 27th is all cross-onshore breeze from the west-northwest, poor conditions, nothing to ride. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th see the swell bump to 3ft–4ft, with strong combined energy readings over 900, but it’s accompanied by a moderate to fresh breeze, making it lumpy and choppy. Not your day.
Then on Monday the 31st, we get a little respite with an offshore wind from the west, but the swell is 3ft and the forecast is still marginal.
Now, Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon—that’s the one you circle. A 5ft northwesterly swell, 11-second period, combined energy 697, and it goes glassy calm. Dead flat wind, clean lines, real good shape for this reef break. That’s the top of the list.
Wednesday the 2nd falls off, but Thursday the 3rd afternoon brings another glassy session: 3ft from the south-southwest, long 19-second period, combined energy 829, and again zero wind. It’s smaller but very clean.
The second week starts with a big swell—Friday the 4th hits 8ft from the northwest, but the cross-onshore wind at 30 km/h makes it a mess. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th keep it big, 7–8ft, with the same lousy wind; over 8ft, it’s only for experts, and the wind chops it up. That’s more of a kiteboarding situation than a surf session.
Finally, Monday the 7th September afternoon: a gentle 3ft south-southwest groundswell, 16-second period, combined energy 328, and glassy conditions again. A mellow way to finish.
Best session? Tuesday the 1st (afternoon), no contest—clean, glassy, fun size. Second best is Thursday the 3rd (afternoon) for the buttery long-period lines. The rest is one to skip.
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.
