The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' flat as a pancake for Pendower Beach. We've got a long stretch of no surf at all, starting from Sunday 19 July all the way through to the start of August. That's a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sittin' at 67°, which is over 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – pretty unusual.
Now, Pendower Beach is a sheltered little spot, best with a good swell from the south-southwest. But we're just not gettin' any decent energy. For days and days it's all tiny 0.3 ft swell with weak combined wave energy readings (3 to 18 in the brackets) – honestly, that's barely a ripple. The wind does clean up nicely at times, especially later in the week from Wednesday 22 July onwards, with some glassy conditions and offshore winds from the north-northwest. But without any swell, clean conditions don't mean a thing.
There's a hint of life right at the end of the window. On the 2nd of August, the swell bumps up a touch to 1 ft–2 ft from the east-southeast, period around 4 seconds, with combined energy creeping up to 16. And then on Monday the 3rd of August, we get the best of the whole forecast – 3 ft from the east-southeast, period still only 5 seconds, but the energy reading jumps to 46, with offshore north-northwesterly wind. That's the one day where you might actually find a knee-high wave. It's nothin' to write home about, but after two weeks of flatness, it'll feel like a miracle. Still a poor surf call overall though.
Rusty.

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