Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pink Rocks over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here, talking Pink Rocks.
We’ve got a quiet start. The first few days are small and poor, nothing worth paddling out for. Things start to pick up around Saturday the 22nd, but it’s a slow build. Water temp is 63°F, right around average for this time of year.
Saturday the 22nd morning sees a 5ft swell from the south, 7-second period, glassy on the surface with a light offshore. The combined energy is moderate at 187 – surfable but nothing crazy. Sunday the 23rd is glassy again in the morning, 3ft from the south at 10 seconds, energy at 141. Clean but small.
The real highlights are Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. Tuesday morning brings 4ft from the south, 10-second period, with clean cross-off wind. Energy is strong at 538. This is the best bet. Wednesday the 26th morning has 8ft from the east at 8 seconds, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s lumpy. Energy is very strong at 1060 – for experts only.
In the second week, Saturday the 29th has 8ft from the northeast at 8 seconds, cross-off wind, clean. Energy at 807. Sunday the 30th morning is clean too, with 4ft from the east-northeast at 8 seconds, light cross-off, energy at 256. A good, smaller session.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 25th morning is the one to circle. Saturday the 29th is worth a look too, but it’s a long-range call. Crowds are likely on the better days, so get in early.
Rusty.

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