Alright, let me be straight with you. The surf outlook for No Pass is pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that's fairly consistent, but the conditions just aren't lining up for a proper session.
Right from the start, we've got a tiny 4ft NW swell (593 combined energy) on Sunday, July 5th, but with a cross-shore wind it's just not clean—marginal at best. That sets the tone. Through the next several days, we see small pulses of swell, mostly from the SSW, but they're all getting hammered by cross-onshore winds. There's a stretch from about Tuesday, July 7th, right through to Sunday, July 12th, where the conditions are consistently poor. The winds are up, and the wave quality is shot. The energy keeps bouncing around from 500 to 1000, but it's all choppy and lumpy.
Honestly, the only real glimmer of hope in this whole 16-day window is on Thursday, July 16th, in the afternoon. We've got a 3ft WNW groundswell with a long 18-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That's the one. The combined energy is 771, which is moderate, but with those perfect winds and a nice, lined-up swell direction matching the optimum WNW, No Pass will be clean. It won't be big, but it'll be rideable and smooth. Keep that date in mind.
Other than that, there is a bump in size on Sunday, July 19th, with a 7ft NW swell and 11-second period (1405 combined energy). It's got a lot more power, but it's still cross-onshore and lumpy. It's a big, messy wave that's likely only for the experts who don't mind the chop. Still, for the sheer energy, it's something to watch.
Otherwise, it's a whole lot of waiting, with the wind just not giving us a break. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

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.
