The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again for the imperial folks. Let’s break it down for Rebounds.
The real start of the action is on Friday, July 31st. Friday morning is scruffy – you got some 3ft SSW swell, but that NNW wind at 9 mph is cross-off, making it feel ordinary. Water temp is around 52°, pretty average for the time. But Friday afternoon turns it right around. The wind goes glassy from the WSW, and that 2ft SSW swell cleans up nicely. Wave energy is moderate, and it’s looking like a real solid little session.
Saturday, August 1st is where it gets exciting. The morning has clean 4ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – proper groundswell. The north wind is offshore at 12 mph, setting up clean faces. Wave energy is very strong. This is a standout for the experienced crew. The afternoon is even bigger: 5ft SSW swell with the same long period, a light offshore NNW breeze at 3 mph, and wave energy goes through the roof. This is expert territory.
Sunday, August 2nd keeps the quality. Morning brings 5ft from the south at 17 seconds, with a steady 15 mph N offshore wind. The afternoon eases to 4ft but stays clean with a NNW breeze.
Monday, August 3rd backs off to 3ft SSW in the morning, still clean offshore. Nice easing surf. The afternoon turns to garbage with an onshore east wind.
Then we hit a long dead zone. From Tuesday, August 4th all the way through until the morning of Friday, August 7th, it’s just poor. Onshore winds, chop, and tiny waves. A solid four-day gap where you’re better off doing something else.
Friday, August 7th morning brings a nice return: 3ft SSW with a very long 19-second period and light offshore N winds. Clean, strong energy.
The best of the entire 16-day run, though, is Friday, August 14th. The morning at Rebounds will be pumping: 5ft SSW swell with a massive 21-second period. The wind is light cross-off from the WNW, and wave energy is enormous. It’s excellent surf, but with that size and period, it’s for experts only. Long-period groundswell makes for clean, powerful lines with big gaps between sets. If you have the skills, this is the session to mark on the calendar.
Crowds can be a thing here, so time it right.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
