The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Queen Street.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim run for the next 16 days. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions with only one real window that’s worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The standout is Monday morning, August 3rd. That’s the one to circle. We’ll see a 6ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 624 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WNW, which should keep things clean. This is the best on offer by a long shot, but with that size, it’s edging into territory that might be too much for beginners—probably best left for those with a bit of experience.
The days leading up to it are a write-off. Sunday, August 2nd, has cross-on winds and tiny, weak swell with periods around 4-5 seconds. The energy is way low, like 21 to 40 (weak). Not worth a second look.
After Monday morning, it drops off again. Monday afternoon sees the swell drop to 4ft and the wind goes onshore, so that clean window closes fast. From Tuesday, August 4th, all the way through to the end of the run on August 17th, it’s a messy mix of tiny swell, short periods, and mostly cross-on or onshore winds. There’s a few pockets of glassy or clean conditions, like Saturday morning, August 8th, with 2ft and glassy wind, but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. The energy is 45 (weak). You’d be bobbing around on a lake.
So, one clear best day: Monday morning, August 3rd. The rest is a long, flat, choppy wait. It’s a tough outlook for Queen Street, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

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