Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on offer for the next couple of weeks.
So, the outlook for the foreseeable future is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch where the conditions just aren't cooperating. For the first week or so, from Saturday the 4th right through until around Friday the 10th, there's really nothing to get excited about. The waves are small and messy, or the wind is just on it, making for poor surf. You're looking at a gap of about a week of pretty ordinary stuff.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday, the 11th of July at Salgema. We finally get a little window with the wind swinging to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. That should clean things up nicely. The swell will be a small 2.6 ft pushing in from the SSE with a period of 11 seconds, which is a decent long-period groundswell. The combined wave energy is sitting at a moderate 264. Now, that period means it might wall up a bit at a beach break, but Salgema is an exposed spot, so it could still offer some fun shapes for intermediate surfers. Keep in mind, it can get crowded there sometimes, so get in early.
After that Saturday morning window, the winds go downhill again, and we're back into the doldrums with poor conditions all the way through to the end of the outlook period on the 19th. There's a late pulse of energy showing for the 19th with a bigger swell building to 2.9 ft from the S with a very long 15-second period, giving a strong combined energy of 441. That's a lot of juice, but unfortunately, the onshore wind is going to chop it up, so it's not looking like the one to wait for.
For now, that Saturday the 11th morning is the only standout. A small but clean window. Don't hold your breath for the rest of it.

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