Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sandtracks over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the coast. Let’s get straight into it. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Sandtracks. For the next week and a half, we’ve got a real run of nothing to get excited about. Right through from now until about the 18th of July, it’s pretty much all blown-out mess or just straight-up poor surf.
The water temp is sittin’ at 79.5°, which is pretty well normal for mid-July, so no complaints on the comfort front.
The first whiff of something that might hold a rail doesn't come until Saturday, the 18th of July. That morning offers up a 5.2ft swell swingin’ in from the ENE, but the period is a short and weak 8 seconds. Wind is a fresh cross-shore at 15.5 mph. The combined swell energy is moderate-high, reading 701, but with that short period, there’s no shape to it. This is for the more experienced crew only, and honestly, it’s still a marginal call. Might be more fun for a kite out there than a paddle.
We then roll into a couple more marginal days, but the real stand-out – and I mean the only highlight in this whole 16-day window – is shaping up for Monday the 27th of July. Now, this is a long way out, so don’t book the week off yet, but the charts are hintin’ at something. We’ve got a solid 3.3ft swell from the E, but with a much nicer period of 15 seconds. That’s a groundswell, boys – proper energy. The combined energy hits a strong 944, and the wind looks a bit lighter, a moderate cross-shore at 12.4 mph. This is way out in the second week though, so keep your fingers crossed. If it holds, that’s your session.
So to wrap it up: for the next nine days, you’re better off takin’ the dog for a walk. Sunday the 18th might give the experts a short, punchy wave, but the real one to watch is Monday the 27th. That’s the one with potential.

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.
