The Lowdown
Alright, let me talk you through what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks out here.
Gotta be straight with you – the first week, it’s pretty rough. Wind’s mostly cross-onshore and blowing hard, and the waves are messy. You’ll see some sizeable swell rolling in around the 28th and 29th of July, with wave heights up to 8ft or more, but the wind screaming from the WSW and SW at 28 mph is just tearing it apart. The energy’s high, but it’s just not surfable for a paddle. That’s more of a kite-surfing scenario.
We finally get a break around Saturday afternoon the 1st of August. It’s small – maybe 1ft – from the SW with a long 16-second period and a light offshore breeze. Clean, but tiny. The first decent chance comes Sunday afternoon the 2nd of August: 1.0ft of SW groundswell, clean with a light offshore wind off the SE.
But the big one is Friday the 7th of August into Sunday the 9th of August. Mark it down.
Friday the 7th of August – both the morning and afternoon at Norman Bay should be excellent. Wave heights around 4ft from the SW, with a serious 19-second period. Wind is offshore out of the E and ENE, so it’s going to be clean and lined-up. Energy is moderate but with that long period, the waves will have some punch to them. For a beginner break, it’s going to look a little more powerful than usual.
Sunday the 9th of August afternoon is similar – 1.2m of swell, which is about 4ft, WSW direction, long 19-second period, and light offshore ESE winds. Another top-tier session.
Water temperature is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year. You’ll want a thick wetsuit and boots.
Norman Bay can be *sometimes* busy, especially when the conditions line up, so don’t be surprised if it gets a little crowded on those prime days.
After that, the forecast goes a bit flat again with the wind turning back onshore from the 10th. So make the most of the 7th and 9th of August – that’s your window.
