Alright, listen up. I'm Rusty, and I'm gonna run through the next couple of weeks for ya.
We're looking at a slow start, no lie. The first chance to get wet that's worth a mention is Saturday the 11th. Before that, forget it.
Saturday the 11th at Lighthouse Right. The swell's a modest 3 ft from the SSW, with a long 16-second period. That's a groundswell, which has power, but on a reef like this, real long lines can sometimes just race past without a proper wall. But, the morning is a little slice of heaven. Glassy conditions, wind from the WSW at just 3 mph. The combined energy reads a moderate 326. It's clean, but small. The morning is the window.
Then it's back to the doldrums, mate. For days and days we get cross-onshore winds from the SSE and SE, chopping everything up. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy readings are low. On Thursday the 16th, the swell jumps up to 7 ft from the SSW with a strong energy of 1886, but the report says it's too big for this spot. A write-off.
Now for the standout. Wednesday the 22nd of July morning. The wind goes glassy again, from the SE at just 3 mph. Perfection. The swell comes in at 4 ft from the SW. The period is a shorter 8 seconds, but for the size and the direction, and with that silky wind, it's going to be a ripper. The combined energy is a healthy 429 – solid and punchy. That is the morning to circle on your calendar.
It's a reef break, so treat it with respect. It's for intermediate surfers, and when it's clean like that, it'll be packed, no doubt.
So, the story is: a tiny, glassy window on Saturday the 11th, a whole lot of junk in between, and then a cracking morning on Wednesday the 22nd. Water temp is about where you'd expect for this time of year.
Rusty.

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