The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
I gotta be honest with you, this is a tough outlook. The first nine days are a total bust. From Wednesday the 2nd through Sunday the 13th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and the scores are terrible. It’s a long stretch of flat, choppy, and poor conditions.
The first sign of life comes on Monday the 14th of September. The wind goes glassy, and we get a pulse. The morning brings a clean 3ft NW swell, but the afternoon is the real deal. The wind drops to dead calm, glassy perfection, and the swell hits 5ft out of the NW with a 12-second period. The wave energy is moderate (914). That’s the standout for the whole period. Head to No Pass (reef) that afternoon. The water temp is 57°, which is about 2° cooler than normal, so it’s a bit nippy for this time of year.
Tuesday the 15th delivers again. The afternoon is glassy with a 7ft NW swell. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a little crumbly, but the calm wind and clean face will make it fun. Wave energy is moderate (635). The morning is a bit cross-on, so stick to the afternoon glass-off.
After that, the swell hangs around through Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, around 5ft to 7ft, but the wind goes onshore and cross-on, so it’ll get bumpy. The period is short (8-10 seconds), so the shape won’t be great. The wave energy stays moderate (585-932). It’s still surfable, but not as good as the Monday and Tuesday window.
If you want a wave, your window is very narrow: Monday afternoon the 14th and Tuesday afternoon the 15th are your best bets. The rest of the time, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast.
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.
