Robberg Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Robberg.

The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got some serious potential building for the second week. The opening windows are on the small side and not the cleanest, but from the 16th onward, things start to get interesting. There’s a big gap with no real standout action until Thursday morning the 16th, so don’t expect much before that.

Monday morning the 13th starts off small with a 4ft SSW swell at 10 seconds. The wind is glassy, and the water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year at 62°. The energy is moderate (547). It’s a decent window for a sneaky session, but it’s not the main event. By Monday afternoon, the swell switches to a short-period 5ft ESE, and the wind goes cross, making it a bit messy. Tuesday the 14th has glassy conditions both morning and afternoon with a 5ft ESE swell, but the energy is dropping (447). It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about.

Then we hit Thursday the 16th – this is where it gets real. Thursday morning brings an 8ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The energy is strong (2827) and the wind is glassy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only – it’s powerful, clean, and the long period will make for some proper shapes, especially at a reef setup like Robberg. The afternoon gets a bit wind-affected, but the morning is your golden window.

Friday the 17th holds similar size, with an 8ft SW swell, but the morning is cross-shore. The afternoon of the 17th is glassy again with an 8ft SW swell and high energy (1352). Another solid session for the confident surfer.

Wednesday the 22nd is a standout for the big-wave hunters. Morning and afternoon both show 10ft SW swell at 14 seconds, glassy conditions, and the energy is massive (3419). This is a serious, powerful day. Only for experts.

Friday the 24th is the absolute highlight of the whole run. The morning is glassy with a 15ft SW swell at 15 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is a staggering 10165. This is exceptional surf for expert surfers only. The swell direction is right on the money for the optimum SE direction, and the conditions will be pristine. Crowds are possible here, but with size like that, only the bravest will be out. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore breeze, but the morning is a dream.

Saturday the 25th stays big with 12ft SW swell, clean conditions in the morning, but it’s still heavy duty. The energy is still very strong (5286). The weekend after that tapers off in quality with more wind and dropping swell, so make the most of that mid-to-late week window.

Stay safe, read the rips, and don’t be a hero if you’re not ready for the size.

Rusty.
