Alright mate, let’s see what we’ve got. For Putsborough, the next 16 days are a right bummer. We’re looking at a long flat spell with barely a ripple.
Kicking off Saturday the 4th of July, there’s a tiny 2ft west swell, but it’s crossed up by a cross-onshore wind, so it’s all choppy and crap. The combined energy is 242 (moderate energy), but the quality is poor, and it’s a no-go. Sunday is even smaller and just as messy.
The whole first week is grim: tiny surf, poor conditions. The only little bit of hope is Wednesday the 8th in the morning when the wind goes glassy on a 1ft west swell. It’s tiny though, with a combined energy of just 24 (weak). You’d need a log and a lot of patience.
Through the second week, the swell stays tiny. We get a few offshore days around the 10th and 11th, with a 2ft west swell and clean wind, but the waves have no power. The end of the run, around the 19th, shows a tiny 2ft north swell with a super short 4-second period–just wind slop.
Honestly, for a paddle surfer, this is a total write-off. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on some of the windier days.
No standouts here. The full 16-day window is a blank for Putsborough. It’s one of those periods where it’s normal to have a quiet spell, so don’t stress too much. Forecasts can always flip.

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.
