G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for Porsmilin over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, and for much of the first week through to around the 18th July, it’s pretty flat and frustrating. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. Swell heights hover around 1ft to 3ft through the 10th to the 19th, and combined wave energy stays weak – mostly under 100 (137 at best on the 10th). That’s not going to push you anywhere. The water temp is 66°, a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s no surf.
The wind does swing offshore quite often, especially on the 15th July afternoon with glassy conditions and N 15 mph cross-offshore winds, but with only 1ft to 2ft of swell and energy as low as 18 to 43 (weak), it’s dead flat really. You’d be standing on the sandbar staring at a lake.
Then there’s a big gap – nothing worthwhile until the 22nd July. From the 22nd, the swell finally wakes up. On Wednesday the 22nd morning, the swell jumps to 4ft from the WNW with period 7s and energy climbs to 207 (moderate). That’s the first sign of life, but the wind is cross-off from the E at 12 mph, so it might be a bit lumpy. By Wednesday afternoon, it hits 5ft from the WNW, period 8s, energy 432 (strong), but the wind goes cross and it’s only rated marginal. Not the cleanest.
The standout window is Thursday 23rd July morning. Swell holds at 5ft from the WNW, period 9s, with a combined energy of 441 (strong). That’s decent size, but with the wind cross from the W at 9 mph, it’ll be a little choppy. This is a sandbar break, and with period under 10s, it won’t have the long lines, but there should be some fun waves for intermediate surfers. Friday 24th and Saturday 25th see similar swell – around 4ft to 5ft from the WNW, energy in the 300-400 range – but onshore and cross-onshore winds spoil the party. That wind from the SSW and WSW on those days will blow it out.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s no true standout clean session with decent size. If you’re keen, the best bet is Thursday 23rd morning with 5ft WNW swell, but be ready for a cross-wind chop. Crowds are possible at Porsmilin as it’s sometimes busy.
Stay patient. It’s a long dry spell before that pulse arrives.

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