Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Putsborough. We’ve got a pretty lean run ahead, so don't be expecting any fireworks.
Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a little bonus if you're forgetting the booties.
The first week is flat. Honestly, you could leave the board in the car. From Monday the 6th all the way through Sunday the 19th of July, we are looking at tiny, weak swell with next to no energy. The combined energy readings are struggling, mostly under 55 (weak energy), and the wave heights are barely a wobble at 1ft to 2ft. Even when we get clean conditions or a bit of offshore wind, there's just no water moving to do anything with it. It’s a two-week gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, the only real glimmer on the horizon shows up for the 21st of July. Tuesday morning brings a bump in the swell to 5ft from the NW, with a combined energy of 188 (moderate wave energy). The period is short though, just 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and disorganised, especially with a cross-shore wind chopping it up. The morning has a light rain feel to it. Tuesday afternoon drops a touch to 4ft NW with 104 energy, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so it'll be choppy again.
Still, the 21st is the only day we might see something rideable, and it’s not exactly a standout. For the rest, this is a long dry spell. There’s just no swell to work with here. Even the cleaner days on the 10th and 11th are just tiny scraps.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. Things can change.
Rusty.

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