The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for your local stretch of coast.
Honestly, I'm going to be straight with you – it's a flat, windy mess for the foreseeable future. If you're hanging out for a decent wave, you're going to be doing a lot of watching. We've got a solid 16-day window here, but don't get your hopes up; there's a massive gap right from the start with nothing worth paddling out for.
Looking at the entire run, there isn't a single standout session. The first sniff of anything surfable might come around Monday, August 3rd, at Sandy Mouth. The swell direction is out of the west, bumping up to about 2ft with a period of 9 seconds. The best part? The wind is glassy from the south at just 3 mph. That’s going to make the surface buttery smooth. It won't be big, but it will be clean. The combined swell energy is low, around 56, so don't expect any power.
But that tiny window of glass is a cruel tease. Right after that, on Tuesday the 4th, the wind swings onshore and really starts howling at 16 mph from the WSW, smashing up that small 3ft to 3ft swell. That cross-onshore chop is going to ruin any chance of a good wave.
As we push into the second week, it doesn't get any better. From the 7th of August all the way through to the 17th, every single report is “poor surf conditions.” We’re looking at tiny waves – 1ft to 2ft – getting chewed up by moderate to fresh cross-onshore breezes. The wave energy stays in the doldrums, rarely breaking 70. The swell period for a few days around the 12th and 13th does hit 9 to 10 seconds, which indicates a weak little groundswell, but it’s a tease because the wind is all wrong, making it messy and choppy.
So, the short of it? The best option across the entire 16 days is a fleeting moment of glassy, thigh-high surf on Monday morning, August 3rd. You have to be ready for a small, clean wave, because that’s the last clean wave you'll see for a while. Don't bank on any of the long-range stuff; it's all blown out.
Remember, sometimes you just have to wait your turn.
Rusty.

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

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 Sandy Mouth 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.
