Hey, Rusty again – same story in feet and miles.
Alright, Putsborough’s 16-day outlook is a lean one. Most days are either flat or wrecked by wind. There are two brief windows, and they’re nothing to write home about, but here we go.
First up is Friday July 10 in the morning. A tiny 2-foot west swell, 9 second period – a longboard kind of wave if you’re keen. Wind is cross-off from the east-northeast at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean, but the energy is weak – 58. Water temp is 63°, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s nice. The call is "surfable but very ordinary." After that, Friday afternoon goes cross-on and choppy, and then it’s a dead zone all the way to the 22nd. On Saturday July 18 there’s a 6-foot pulse from the north-northwest, but the period is a lousy 6 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore – lumpy and ugly, better for kites.
The best bet is Wednesday July 22. Morning and afternoon are glassy. Swell is 3 feet from the west, 6 second period, combined energy 91 – still small but the cleanest conditions of the whole run. Morning wind is a whisper from the south-southwest, afternoon goes calm. That’s your day for a log – soft, clean, tiny waves. It’s 12 days out so not locked in, but it’s the only real standout.
After the 22nd it’s back to poor, choppy conditions through the 25th. Two slim chances – grab ’em if you can.
Rusty out.

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.
