Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the pattern is pretty clear: we’ve got a slow, messy start that you can basically write off until Monday, July 6th. That first weekend is a total write-off with onshore winds, rain, and weak, messy surf. Not worth paddling out.
But hold on, because from Monday the 6th, things get real interesting.
The standout window – and I mean the one you circle on the calendar – is Monday the 6th through to Tuesday the 7th of July. Peppermint Grove Reef is going to be absolutely pumping. On the Monday morning, we’re looking at a solid 7.2ft of west swell with a long 16-second period from the WSW. That’s a classic groundswell pulse. Combined wave energy is strong at 2383, so there’s plenty of push. The wind? Offshore from the SE at 12 mph. That’s clean, lined-up reef waves. This is serious gear for experienced surfers – over 8ft, this is expert territory. The water temp at this time of year? It feels about average for the season around here.
The Monday afternoon holds the same quality: 7.9ft swell, still offshore from the ESE, energy bumping to 2685. Tuesday morning keeps the magic going with 6.6ft, offshore from the ESE at a light 6 mph, clean as a whistle. That’s your best bet – two full days of quality, powerful surf.
Now, there are a few other windows worth noting, but they’re not in the same league. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are chopped out and messy – strong onshore winds kill it. But then from Saturday the 11th of July, things clean up again. We get a nice run of cleaner conditions, with smaller but rideable swell around 4.3ft to 4.6ft from the WSW. The wind switches to a cross-offshore or even glassy light breeze on Sunday the 12th, making for really pleasant, user-friendly waves for all levels.
Then, look at Monday the 13th of July – another solid pulse. We get a 6.2ft WSW groundswell at 16 seconds, with a light offshore from the east at 6 mph. Energy hits 1841. This is another solid, clean day for experienced surfers, though a notch down from that first big window.
After that, the second week gets smaller and less reliable. There’s a glassy afternoon on Tuesday the 14th with 4.3ft waves, but the wind turns onshore again mid-week. The weekend of the 18th and 19th of July looks cleaner with a fresh S/SW breeze making for clean, smaller waves around 5.6ft to 4.3ft, but the bite is out of it by then.
So, the final call: if you want the real deal, be at Peppermint Grove Reef on Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July. That’s the highlight of the whole 16-day run. For a more relaxed, fun surf, the weekend of the 11th and 12th is your go-to. After that, it’s smaller and more fickle.

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