Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. Same story, different numbers. The next 16 days at Pon. Inlet are pretty much a write-off. The break is a consistent little beach/jetty, often crowded, but the swell has gone missing. We're looking at waves mostly in the 1 to 3 foot range, with wind that's all out of whack. A few glassy mornings but nothing with enough push. Water temp is around 85°F, right where it should be for July.
From July 6 through July 20, every session is classified as poor. The only glimmer comes on July 20 afternoon and July 21, when we get "surfable but very ordinary" conditions – waves around 2 to 3 feet out of the ESE/E with a short period of 7-8 seconds, and a light to moderate offshore breeze from the SW. Combined swell energy is moderate (93-102) but it's still nothing to race out for. No standouts, no real quality. Just a long stretch of flatness and mediocrity.
For a break that's usually consistent, this is a dry spell. Forecasts can change, but as of now there's no reason to get wet. Don't bother chasing it.
Rusty.

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