Sandon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Sandon Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are definitely some windows worth keeping an eye on.

The early part of the week is a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. We’re looking at a gap of a few days before things start to get interesting. The real action kicks off on Wednesday, 15 July, with a solid pulse of 8ft S swell arriving. The combined energy is a hefty 2174, which is strong stuff. This is big, clean, and sets up excellent conditions for experienced surfers only – it’s too much for beginners. The wind is a cross-off, keeping it clean. The swell direction from the south is a good match for the point’s optimum from the southeast, even if it's a bit off. This is your standout for the first week, but only if you've got the skill.

The swell drops a bit through Thursday and Friday, but the quality fades with it. There's a bit of a lull over the weekend, with ordinary, weak conditions.

Hold on, because the second week looks much better for a wider range of surfers. Sunday, 19 July, sees a new ENE swell building in the afternoon, reaching 5ft with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is moderate at 616, and the wind is favorable. This is a very good option.

The absolute pick of the fortnight, however, is Monday, 20 July. We’ve got glassy conditions with a clean 5ft ENE swell and a period of 10 seconds. The energy is solid at 558. The wind is dead calm – glass – which will make for some of the cleanest waves you'll see. The crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but on a Monday with conditions like this, it’s a gamble worth taking. This is your best bet for a quality, fun session.

The good run continues into Tuesday, 21 July, with more glassy conditions in the morning, before the wind turns onshore in the afternoon. Then, on Thursday, 23 July, we get another boost from the east, with a 6ft, 12-second swell and strong energy (851). The wind is offshore, making it a very good option for the more experienced crew.

The following week sees the swell ease back, but it stays consistent with small, clean waves from the east, especially in the mornings with light offshore winds. It’s not going to blow you away, but it’s enough for a happy paddle.
