Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rebounds over the next 16 days.
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ at Rebounds. We’ve got a decent window of surf ahead, but it kicks off with a slow start, so don’t be in a rush to paddle out just yet.
The opening weekend is a bit of a dud. Sunday, July 12th, we’ve got a tiny 1.6 ft SW swell, but a strong 25 mph WNW wind is making things messy. There’s not enough juice to get excited about, and conditions are just poor. We’re looking at a couple of days before things pick up.
Things start to get interesting by Monday the 13th. A solid 6.6 ft SSW groundswell pushes in, with a very long 16-second period. The wave energy is strong, coming in at 1997. But the wind is howling from the WNW at 25 mph, so the surface will be chopped up. It's one to watch from the beach, not one for the lineup.
The real standout for this stretch is Friday morning, July 17th. Rebounds turns on with a clean 5.6 ft SSW swell and a long 17-second period. The wind is light from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping the surface as clean as a whistle. The combined swell energy is a solid 1555, giving the waves some real push. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – a true highlight.
The following Saturday morning, July 18th, drops to a smaller 3.0 ft SSW swell, but the wind goes light offshore from the north, so it will be clean and fun for a smaller board. After that, the surf tapers off into a quiet period late July, with small swells and ordinary conditions.
Looking further ahead, there’s a promising pulse building for late in the window. Friday, July 24th, sees another solid SSW groundswell arrive, 3.9 ft with a very long 19-second period. The morning has a clean offshore breeze from the NNW, so it should be well-shaped and powerful. The swell energy is high at 988. This is a promising longer-range call, but as always with a week-and-a-half lead, it’s one to watch and hope the charts hold.
Overall, the run of surf is decent, with a couple of excellent days and a quiet spell in the middle. The water temp is running a bit colder than normal for the time of year.

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.
