Table - best surf conditions forecast for Right Point (Cat Bay) over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at this in feet and miles per hour. The outlook is a tough one, mate. The first week is just blown out – strong onshore winds wrecking any chance of clean surf. The first proper window arrives Saturday morning, the 15th of August.
The standout is definitely Saturday, the 15th. Morning brings a 6ft SW groundswell with a long 15-second period, light cross-offshore winds, and clean conditions. The combined energy is strong (1654). This is expert territory – that power on a point like Right Point (Cat Bay) will be a proper challenge. Saturday afternoon stays good with 6ft and the same clean cross-offshore flow. Sunday the 16th is a bit smaller but still worth a look, with 5ft in the morning and a nice clean 4ft in the afternoon with light winds.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th fade to 4ft. Clean conditions though, so a log or a fish will be your friend.
Then the taps turn off. From Wednesday the 19th through to Tuesday the 26th, it’s flat – 1ft to 2ft at best, with onshore or messy winds most days. There’s a glassy moment Thursday the 20th afternoon, but with only 2ft, it’s a real long shot. That’s a solid week-plus of poor to marginal surf. Late on the 26th we see a jump to 8ft, but it’s a short 9-second period with onshore wind – just a lumpy, messy closeout. If you’re a kite surfer, maybe, but for paddle surfing, forget it.
Water temp is average for the season at about 56°F. That Saturday and Sunday window is your only real shot. Don’t miss it.
