The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for us.
The first real session is on Tuesday morning, September 8th, at Rebounds. This is an advanced reef break. We’ve got a 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period, and a light northwesterly cross-off breeze keeping it clean. Water temp is about 53°, right on the mark for this time of year. The combined energy is 1018 (moderate). It’s not huge, but it’s clean and lined up. That Tuesday morning is the pick of the early week.
Tuesday afternoon the swell bumps to 5ft, but the wind shifts and the energy jumps to 1271. The conditions get a bit sketchy, so get it early.
Wednesday the 9th is a write-off. A strong 25 mph WSW wind blows straight onshore, with swell from 11ft to 13ft and energy in the 8000 to 9900 range. Just a blown-out mess.
Thursday the 10th sees 10ft to 15ft swell, but it’s just too big for this spot. Wind is okay, but it’s for experts only, if anyone.
Friday the 11th morning is a gem. 8ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, light NNW cross-off. Energy is 2918 (strong). Clean and powerful. That’s your second standout.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are still fun, with swell dropping from 6ft to 4ft, clean north winds, and energy from 1750 down to 702. Good for the experienced crew.
Then a lull. Monday the 14th is tiny at 1ft with weak energy (90). Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are blown out again. A real gap.
Thursday the 17th morning brings a little hope: 5ft swell, 15-second period, 898 energy, and a clean cross-off breeze. Decent, but not a standout.
More flat and windy stuff until Saturday the 19th. The morning of the 19th is small at 4ft, but Saturday afternoon is nice: 4ft SSW groundswell, 15-second period, light NE wind, 755 energy. Very clean.
Sunday the 20th morning is clean with 5ft swell and 1022 energy. Solid.
The big one, and the true standout of the whole outlook, is Monday the 21st of September. Morning at Rebounds: 6ft SSW groundswell, 18-second period, light NNE cross-off, and a combined energy of 2126. That’s strong, clean, and powerful. Circle that date. The afternoon is a bit smaller but still good.
The outlook fades from Tuesday the 22nd onwards, with waves dropping from 5ft to 2ft by the 23rd, and energy tailing off. The wind stays clean, but it’s a slow fade.
So, to sum it up: Tuesday morning the 8th and Monday morning the 21st are your best bets. The 21st is the standout of the fortnight. The middle of the week around the 10th to 15th is a total dud.
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.
