The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s coming up for Port Bara. It’s a bit of a rough start, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
The next week or so is looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a solid run of onshore winds and messy conditions that’ll keep the waves mostly junk. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong through the first few days, hitting 639-813 (moderate energy) on Monday and Tuesday, but the wind is just ruining it. A near gale on Tuesday morning with 31 mph cross-onshore winds – that’s a write-off. Wednesday ain’t much better.
We finally get a break on Thursday the 10th – a tiny window of glassy conditions in the morning. The swell is only 2ft from the west, with a weak 54 (weak energy) and a short 8-second period. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’ll be fighting for scraps. Another glassy morning pops up on Saturday the 12th, but again, it’s just 2ft and weak energy at 79 (weak energy). Not much to write home about.
The real standout is shaping up for Thursday the 17th of September. That morning, the wind turns offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, and the swell comes in at 5ft from the west with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a solid 512 (moderate energy), and the conditions are described as “gentle offshore and clean.” This is the best window of the whole period. It’s a solid intermediate swell, clean, and the direction is close to the optimum WSW. Just be aware that at Port Bara, crowds are often a thing, so you won’t be alone.
Friday the 18th morning also offers a decent look with 4ft west swell and easterly offshore winds, but the energy drops to 287 (weak to moderate). It’s a good backup, but not the main event.
The rest of the second week fades into smaller, weaker swells with onshore winds again. The 16th of September has a bit of a cross-shore wind and 5ft swell, but it’s only a marginal call. The 22nd of September has offshore winds but the swell is down to 3ft with a short 7-second period.
So, the pick of the litter is Thursday the 17th September morning. Get out there before the wind swings around in the afternoon.
Rusty.

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