Rosie's Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Rosie's Bay.

The pattern is a bit of a slow burner. We've got a bit of a flat start to kick things off, but the end of the first week and into the second week shows some promise. The main takeaway is that there are two standout windows, but you'll need to be patient.

Right now, Wednesday the 8th is a write-off. Thursday morning, the 9th, is where we get our first taste of something good. The wind swings around to a glassy south at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long period of 16 seconds. The energy is moderate at 609, but with those clean conditions, it’s going to be a fun session for the intermediate crew. The water temp is 56°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The afternoon holds with a clean cross-off breeze, making it another good session.

Then we get a mix of conditions through Friday and Saturday, but Sunday the 13th is a real gem. We’re looking at glassy conditions again with a clean 2 ft SSW swell. The energy is low at 206, but for a small-wave board, it’ll be pure fun. It’s a consistent little pulse with a long period, so expect some nice lines.

Now, the big one is the second week. For Monday the 20th of July, the swell really picks up. The morning sees a solid 8 ft WNW swell with moderate energy (1157), but the wind is a light cross-on. The afternoon is the standout: a 10 ft WNW groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, and it goes glassy with the wind dying off completely. The energy is very strong at 1813. Look, this is a serious amount of water. At 10 ft, this is strictly for experts only. The break will be handling a lot of grunt. If you're not on your game, give it a miss.

Also on the 19th (Sunday afternoon), we get a clean 5 ft WNW swell with a cross-off breeze and moderate energy at 354. That’s a nice warm-up for the big Monday.

Remember, there are often crowds here, so for those standout glassy sessions, get down early.

So, the best on offer? Your two absolute standout windows are Thursday morning, July 9th for clean, fun 3 ft waves, and Monday afternoon, July 20th for a massive, glassy 10 ft swell that will be a serious challenge for the experts.
