The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and let's look at what Oberon Bay has cookin' over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, so don't expect perfection. The water temp's pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild, so just your standard rubber.
The first few days are a total bust. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are blown out with strong onshore winds, and the swell is either tiny or all over the shop. The wave energy is weak on Thursday (99 to 173) but jumps up Friday (517 to 683) – there's a bit of power there, but the wind ruins it.
Now, if you're hunting for a window, Saturday the 8th is your best bet. It's not huge, but it'll be clean. We have a light breeze, cross-offshore out of the NNE and NE, and the swell is around 3 ft to 3 ft from the SW. The period is a very long 16 seconds, which means proper groundswell and nice lines. The energy is moderate (300 to 374). For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that's a winner. Get out there – it'll be glassy and fun.
After that, we hit another rough patch. Sunday the 9th brings rain and stronger winds, turning it ugly. Then from Monday the 10th through the 14th, the swell gets big – 6 ft to 8 ft – but the wind is relentless, mostly onshore and strong. The energy readings are massive, hitting 3939 on Monday arvo, showing a ton of power, but the conditions will be messy and dangerous for anyone but experts.
Things calm down from Saturday the 15th into the 18th. Wave heights drop back to 2 ft to 4 ft from the SW, with reasonable energy (159 to 918). The wind is light, sometimes cross-on, but mornings can be glassy or clean. On Monday the 17th we see light easterly offshore winds and clean conditions with 2 ft to 3 ft waves. It won't be big, but it'll be surfable.
The long-range around the 20th shows the swell building again to 6 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is dicey. Early Thursday the 20th has a shot with light onshore and moderate energy (1641), but it's marginal. After that, Friday the 21st looks like a lumpy cross-onshore mess with a short 9-second period.
All in all, don't hold your breath for epic. The true highlight is this Saturday the 8th. It's the only day with clean, fun waves for a beginner or a relaxed paddle. Monday the 17th is your next best for small, clean surf. Otherwise, it's a lot of waiting.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
