The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s be honest – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating around here. Rosie’s Bay has got a lot of small, messy, and just plain average conditions on the menu, with only a few windows where it’s worth getting wet.
First surf worth mentioning comes on Friday morning, the 17th of July. The swell is only 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, making it clean. The combined energy is moderate (562). It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The real standout – the one I’d pencil in – is Tuesday afternoon, the 21st of July. The swell is tiny at 2 ft from the SW, but the period is a long 16 seconds and the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare combo for this spot. The combined energy is moderate (345), and those long lines will be clean and rideable. It’s not a big day, but for a clean, glassy session when it’s been mostly chopped out, this is the pick of the whole forecast.
After that, there’s another quiet few days until Thursday afternoon, the 23rd of July, when glassy conditions return with a 2 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. Again, small and clean, but nothing to get too excited about. Then it’s back to poor conditions until the weekend.
Saturday, the 25th of July, brings a bump in size – 5 ft to 6 ft from the WNW – but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. The combined energy jumps to strong (710 and 653), but it’s going to be lumpy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
Overall, if you’re keen, aim for the 17th morning for a cleanish session, or the 21st afternoon for that glassy window. The rest is small, choppy, or just not worth the paddle. This is a slow stretch, but it won’t last forever. Keep checking in.
Stay wet,
Rusty

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