The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for North Bar.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next few days are a write-off. The first week is pretty much a dud, with tiny, messy slop and hardly any energy to speak of. You're looking at a long gap there with nothing worth chasing.
Things start to get interesting when we hit Monday the 3rd of August. That’s where the real story is. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell arriving, a proper SSE groundswell with a 10-second period, building to 8ft by the morning. The combined energy is really pumping at that point (1282), which is strong stuff. Monday morning will be the standout: clean with a light WNW cross-off breeze, that’s going to set up some beautiful, well-shaped lines. It’s a bit too big for beginners – this is expert territory. The afternoon stays good too, with a clean 7ft swell and a moderate offshore wind out of the SW. This is the best on offer, no question.
After that, Tuesday the 4th still holds some clean, glassy 5ft surf in the morning, but the energy drops off a bit. The rest of that week fades into ordinary, surfable but nothing you’d set your alarm for.
The water temp is about average for this time of year. And keep in mind, this break can get crowded sometimes, so for that Monday morning stand-out, don't expect to have it to yourself.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, the call is to pencil in the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. That’s the one.
Rusty.

Information about the North Bar Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for North Bar provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at North Bar can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our North Bar 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 (North Bar) 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 North Bar 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.
