The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Sandtracks over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a flat spell to start, and the wind ain't playin’ nice either.
We’ve got a real gap at the beginning here. From the 1st right through to late on the 4th of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. That cross-shore breeze is just trashing everything, and the wave energy is weak with combined swell energy readings mostly under 1000, which feels about right for the messy conditions you’d see.
Things start to look interesting later on Tuesday the 4th, though. We get a brief window Tuesday afternoon. The wind drops right out to glassy – that’s the good stuff. The swell is small, only about 4ft from the East, but it’s got some nice period at 11 seconds. Combined energy is still modest at 462, but with clean conditions, that’s your best chance for a fun session if you’re not fussy about size. Sandtracks is a reef, fairly consistent, and open to the SSE, so this East swell wraps in alright. The water temp is 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so boardshorts or a spring suit are fine.
After that little Tuesday peak, we slide back into mediocrity. Wednesday the 5th is small and lumpy again, and from the 6th of August all the way through to the 16th, it’s just a continuous run of cross-shore wind and messy surf. The swell tries to push in a bit around the 12th, with a South groundswell showing periods up to 18 seconds and combined energy hitting 1007 by the afternoon, but that’s tied to a strong cross-breeze and a cross-chop that’ll wreck any chance of a clean face. That long-period groundswell (over 15 seconds) would normally be a dream for a reef, but the wind just ruins it. Everything in the second week is plagued by fresh to strong cross-shore winds, so don’t hold your breath for anything clean.
Honestly, the standout here is that Tuesday afternoon session on the 4th. It’s the only one that ticks the boxes for clean conditions. The rest of the window is a battle with the wind.
Stay tuned, forecasts change.

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.
