Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for Rosie’s Bay.
The first week or so is going to be a real battle. Small swell, funky wind, and mostly marginal surf. Water temp is around 56°F, which is pretty average for the season. The one window that really shines is Friday, July 10th, but that’s a good week and a half out.
From July 2nd through July 6th, it’s pretty quiet or just ugly. Thursday the 2nd has a tiny 0.6m (2ft) SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, but you’ve got a cross-off ESE breeze at 12 mph, so it’s a wash. Friday and Saturday are barely ankle-snappers with light onshores. Sunday the 5th sees a small bump to 1.2m (4ft) from the W, but the period drops to 8 seconds – that’s weak windswell – and the wind is cross-on. Not the one.
The standout, and the one you need to aim for, is Friday, July 10th morning. Glassy conditions – that’s the big win here – with a clean 0.9m (3ft) SW groundswell and a juicy 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate (630), but with that flat water and the right direction, the waves will have some real push and shape. Rosie’s Bay is very consistent and exposed to the west, and the optimal swell direction is west, so this SW swell is right in the slot. It’s a reef/point setup, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, making for some good, clean lines. The crowd factor is a possibility, but a Friday morning might keep the numbers down.
After that, it’s back to small and messy into the second week. Saturday the 11th has a quick jump to 1.7m (6ft) but with a terrible 7-second period and cross-on wind – total waste. July 16th shows a bigger 1.7m (6ft) W swell with an 11-second period, but the wind stays cross-on, keeping it choppy.
So, hold out for that Friday the 10th morning. That’s your cleanest bet. The rest is just waiting for a better forecast.

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.
