The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the menu for Rebounds over the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off with a bit of a slow cooker. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and less-than-ideal wind. It’s not until Tuesday afternoon things start to show some real promise. The standout window is shaping up to be Saturday the 15th of August, with a solid 7ft SSW groundswell, a long period of 16 seconds, and a clean, offshore breeze from the NNW. That’s the kind of combo that’ll have the reefs lining up well. The combined swell energy is strong, at 2079, and it’s a morning session for experienced surfers only – this one’s got some punch.
The other real highlight is shaping up for Sunday the 23rd of August. Another strong push of S swell, 5ft at 16 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the N. Again, clean conditions and excellent for experienced surfers, with combined energy of 1907. That’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s got the makings of a cracker.
Between those two standouts, we’ve got a mix of clean, surfable days, but nothing that’ll blow your socks off. The mornings of the 17th and 18th of August will offer clean, offshore conditions with chest-high swell, good for a fun session. The 13th of August Thursday afternoon also looks clean with a 6ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s not quite as pristine.
Be warned: the 14th of August Friday is a write-off with strong, lumpy cross-onshore winds and a massive 15ft SW swell. That’s only for the brave or the kite crew. The period from the 19th of August onward drops off into tiny, weak surf, and the 22nd of August has a short-period, messy swell that’s not worth the paddle out.
Crowds at Rebounds can pop up sometimes, so keep that in mind for the standout days. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.
Stay safe, pick your windows, and I’ll catch you in the lineup.
Rusty.

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