Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sandtracks over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break this down the old-school way.
Sandtracks is in a pretty quiet spot for the next couple of weeks. From Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, right through to Monday morning, July 20th, there’s basically nothing you’d want to paddle into. Waves show up – 5 ft to 6 ft – but the wind is a fresh cross-shore out of the ENE at 18-22 mph, and with swell periods as short as 7 to 8 seconds, it’s just bumpy, chopped-out junk. The wave energy is moderate (369-699), but the quality is zero. Water’s a warm 80°F, about average for this time of year, so not helping the waves any.
The only real possibility is on July 21st, Tuesday. The swell drops to 3 ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s real groundswell, and the combined energy jumps into the strong range (1162-1212). The wind is still cross-shore from the east at 13 mph, so it’s not glassy, but it’s marginal rather than terrible. That’s your best shot. Those long lines will have some shape on the reef, but the wind will keep it from being a classic.
After that, July 22nd lightens up but the swell drops off and the wind goes onshore. Not worth talking about.
So you’re looking at a dry spell of about 13 days until that brief window on the 21st. The long-range might shift, but as it stands, that’s the only real shot. Keep it on your radar.
Rusty.

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.
