G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the surf ahead. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it.
We've got a real standout window kickin' things off this Saturday, the 11th of July. Ohara's gonna be pumpin'. We're lookin' at a solid 7ft of south swell rollin' in with a long 16-second period, which makes for some serious, powerful lines. The combined energy is huge at 2691, so this is proper groundswell. The wind is off from the SSW at 12 mph, keepin' it clean. This swell and this setup? That's for experienced surfers only – it's got some grunt. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothin' to complain about there. Ohara is exposed to the south, so it's just slurpin' up all that energy. Just be aware, crowds are possible here. Saturday afternoon holds similar quality, too.
Sunday the 12th is still got some size, around 7ft from the SSW in the morning, droppin' to 6ft by the arvo. The wind turns a little cross-off from the SW, so it'll still be clean, but the energy is droppin' a bit to 2006. Still a good-lookin' weekend.
Now, we hit a real flat spot. From Monday the 13th right through to Saturday the 19th, we've got barely a ripple. The swell completely drops out. Monday morning has 3ft but onshore wind from the north at 6 mph and a short period, so it's pretty ordinary. It's a classic lull.
But hang on, there's a glimmer on Sunday the 19th. By the afternoon, the wind shifts to a light cross-off from the ESE, and we get a little bump of 4ft from the east with a short 9-second period. Combined energy is 304, which is weak. It's surfable, but don't expect much.
The next real opportunity comes back on Tuesday the 21st of July. We get another pulse of 4ft swell from the ESE, but this time with a better 10-second period and combined energy of 298. The wind is light and cross-off from the ESE, so it'll be clean. It's not the big stuff from the first weekend, but it's a solid, clean surf day.
After that, it gets a bit gnarly. Thursday the 23rd sees a solid 10ft of south-southeast swell, but it's blown out by a fresh cross-onshore breeze from the NNE at 19 mph. That's a messy, stormy lookin' day, and by Thursday afternoon the wind picks up to 25 mph. Honestly, that setup looks more interestin' for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The rain hits hard on Friday the 24th with a gale force onshore wind – that's a day to stay on the beach.
The outlook closes out with a bit more windswell on Saturday the 26th, but it's not clean and the period is short at 7 seconds. Not worth gettin' too excited over.
So, the standouts are clear: Saturday the 11th of July is the best on offer. Get out there for the big, clean south swell. Tuesday the 21st of July is your next best bet for a clean, surfable day.
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.
