Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Riviera Shorebreak.
Honestly, this is a tough one right out of the gate. The first good wave we see isn’t until Wednesday, July 22nd, and even then it’s a bit of a wait. The whole block from now through July 21st is a real flat spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for; mostly poor surf conditions with tiny swell and messy wind. It’s a two-week gap with almost no action.
The one true standout is Wednesday, July 22nd in the afternoon. Finally, the Riviera Shorebreak shows some life. The wind is glassy – dead calm, just a slight air – and that’s a massive plus for clean conditions. The swell is 4 ft from the SW, with a 13-second period, which gives it a bit of push. The combined energy is moderate, around 579. It’s not gonna be huge, but it’ll be clean and rideable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there. This is a break that rarely breaks, so when it does line up with a light wind, you gotta pay attention. The direction is SW, which matches the optimum here, so it should hold up well. Crowds are possible, so be ready for a few others to have the same idea since it’s been so flat.
The next morning, Thursday July 23rd, still has a bit of leftover swell, 4 ft from the SW, but the wind turns cross-on, and the energy drops a touch. It’s a secondary option if you miss the Wednesday window, but it won’t be as clean. The period shortens up too, so the quality will drop.
So, bottom line: if you’re after a wave, mark your calendar for the afternoon of July 22nd. That’s your best shot. Before that, it’s a long dry spell. After that, it fades again.
Rusty.

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.
