The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Sandy Mouth. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but hang in there.
Right now, and for the next week and a bit, it’s pretty grim. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only nice thing to say. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. Through the end of July and into the first few days of August, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making it choppy and bumpy. Thursday the 30th of July offers a brief moment of near-flat, glassy conditions with a 4ft swell, but it’s barely surfable and the energy is weak (103). You’d be better off waiting.
Then things start to get interesting. The real standout kicks off on Monday, August 3rd. The easterly wind goes offshore, cleaning up a solid 8ft swell from the west. The combined energy is pumping (898), and the conditions are looking clean. This is a proper swell, but at 8ft, it’s pushing into expert territory. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a windswell – expect it to be a bit walled up and relentless. For a beach break, that short period makes it a bit of a close-out machine, but for the experienced guys, there will be plenty of power. With the offshore wind, it’s the best on offer by a long shot. The morning will be the cleanest, with glassy conditions, but the afternoon holds up well too.
Tuesday the 4th still has a decent 5ft swell from the west (272 energy) and clean offshore wind in the morning, making it a good follow-up session. After that, it fades back into small, weak surf for the rest of the outlook.
To be honest, there’s nothing worth chasing until that Monday the 3rd. That’s the day to have your wetsuit ready. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
