The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We’re looking at Outers, and honestly, it’s a frustrating run. The whole 16-day window is one long stretch of poor surf conditions. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem to get excited about.
From Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, right through to Wednesday afternoon, August 19th, it’s the same story over and over. The wind is a persistent cross-onshore, blowing from the east or east-northeast at 12 to 22 mph. That means lumpy, choppy, and just plain messy water. The swell is coming from the east, with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. Heights bobble around 3 ft to 5 ft, but with that wind and short period, it’s just not worth paddling out. The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, sitting between 60 and 357, but it’s all wasted energy.
The water temperature on that first Tuesday is a warm 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year – no real anomaly there. But even that can’t sweeten the deal.
We’ve got a solid 16-day gap here with no real recommendations. For a spot like Outers, which is an exposed reef break that’s fairly consistent, this kind of blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The wind just won’t play ball. For a surfer, there’s nothing to chase. If you’ve got a kite, the consistent cross-onshore wind and moderate swell might look more interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a washout. Hang tight, forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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