G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks, but we’ve got a clear standout to kick things off.

We’re looking at a solid pulse of groundswell running straight into Ohara. The water’s sitting at 74°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, just a little nip in the air.

The real action starts on Friday, July 10th. Ohara is the only game in town, and it’s going to be pumping for experienced surfers. We’re talking a solid 7 ft of swell thumping in from the south, with a long 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is offshore and light, so it’ll be clean and lined up. The combined energy is massive (1914), so you’ll feel the power. This is a standout session, but remember, it’s inconsistent here, so you’ll need to be patient between sets. The wave direction is perfect for the optimum SE swell window. Crowds are possible, but with the early start and the size, it might thin out a bit.

Friday afternoon holds up just as well, with the swell bumping up to 7 ft and a 16-second period – very long period stuff. The wind stays offshore but picks up a bit, so it’ll still be clean. The wave energy is even higher (2476). This is the best of the whole outlook.

Saturday the 11th is still solid, but the wind shifts to a cross-offshore in the morning, making it a little less perfect. Still, you’ve got 7 ft of south swell with that long 16-second period. The afternoon cleans up again with offshore wind, so the afternoon session is the pick of the day.

By Sunday the 12th, the swell drops a touch to 6 ft, and the wind goes cross-offshore with some cloud cover. It’s still surfable for the experienced crew, but the conditions are a bit more mixed.

Then we hit a quiet patch. From Monday the 13th through to Thursday the 16th, the swell drops right off – under 3 ft with short periods. The wind is mostly clean or light, but there’s just not enough energy to get excited about. The combined energy is below 300 most of the time. You could get a fun little wave on a log, but nothing for a proper surf.

From Friday the 17th right through to Saturday the 25th, it’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The swell tries to pick up again around the 20th with 6 ft to 7 ft from the east-northeast, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. The combined energy gets up there (403 to 778), but the conditions are just messy. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. The 23rd shows a bit of promise with 7 ft of east swell and a 11-second period, but the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s still a gamble.

Honestly, the only real standout is that Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th window. After that, it’s a long wait for something clean again. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a two-day window and then a drought.

Rusty.

Information about the Ohara Surf forecast

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