Alright, grab a seat. Let’s chew through what Riviera Shorebreak has cooking for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s mostly a flat, choppy mess. There’s a long stretch of nothing good right from the start.
From Friday the 3rd through to Monday the 6th, it’s small waves and cross-on winds – the swell’s around 3 feet, but with a long period from the SW, and the energy’s moderate around 480 to 883. But with the wind blowing on it, it’s just not happening. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. Not worth suiting up.
The one real glimmer comes on Tuesday the 7th afternoon. The swell bumps to nearly 5 feet from the SW, with a very long 18-second period, and the energy jumps to 1151 (strong). The wind goes super light, almost glassy out of the WSW. That’s your best window – but with that long period at a beach break, the waves might be a little fat and straight, better suited to a point break. Still, if you’re itching, that’s the call. Could be a few others with the same idea – crowds are possible.
From Wednesday the 8th on, it’s downhill. Swell drops under 4 feet, energy fading, and the wind goes cross-on or onshore again. By the second week, from Sunday the 12th onward, it’s tiny – down to 3 feet and then 1 feet by Wednesday the 15th – with weak energy under 300. The wind picks up moderate, and we even get some thunderstorms. For a spot that rarely breaks clean, this stretch looks more like a kite-surfing session than a surf one.
So, your best bet is Tuesday afternoon the 7th. After that, it’s a long quiet spell right through to the 18th.

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