Alright folks, let’s call a spade a spade. I’ve been looking at the long-range for Sandtracks, and it’s a grim run for surf. For the full 16 days, the wind is locked in out of the ENE, blowing cross-shore at 15 to 25 mph, and it’s stirring up a lumpy, cross-chop surface on every single swell. Every session is showing poor surf conditions.
We start on Friday, July 3rd, with a 2ft south-southwest swell running a 17-second period, but that 15 mph cross wind has it looking chopped. Combined energy is moderate (517), but it’s wasted. Saturday morning, July 4th, the swell bumps to 2ft from the south with a massive 21-second period and energy at 928, but it’s still blown out. This wind doesn’t stop.
Wednesday morning, July 8th, we get the biggest push of the run – 5ft from the east – but the period drops to a short 8 seconds, and the wind is still cross. That’s the only time the swell tops 5ft, and it’s hopeless. The rest of the week fades back to 2ft to 3ft swells, mostly from the south with great period (16-18 seconds), but the 15 to 25 mph cross breeze never lets up. Energy levels stay moderate, peaking at 630 on July 12th, but the surface is always messy.
With no offshore wind in sight, and only a short-period east chop mixed in, this isn’t a spot for any crowd. Beginners won’t find clean 2ft waves, and experts won’t get a single clean window to enjoy that long-period groundswell. This spot is more interesting for kite surfing right now. It’s a full 16-day dry spell for surf.

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