The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Sandy Mouth over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, with no real quality surf to speak of. The first decent-looking day doesn’t even show up until Wednesday, August 12th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
The first week is a real heartbreaker. Monday the 3rd starts with a tiny 2 ft swell from the west, period of 9 seconds, and glassy conditions. Combined energy is weak (55). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets for a while. Tuesday the 4th gets messy with strong cross-onshore winds and a choppy 3 ft swell. Wednesday the 5th sees a pulse of 6 ft swell from the west, but it’s onshore and blown out, with moderate energy (477). That’s too big for beginners and not clean enough for anyone else. The rest of the first week, through to the 11th, is just a mix of tiny, onshore, or weak swells with poor conditions. Honestly, the wind is just not playing ball.
We finally get a bit of a break on Wednesday, August 12th. The morning shows a 4 ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 6 seconds and clean, moderate offshore winds from the ESE. Combined energy is still weak (92). It’s "surfable but very ordinary," scoring a 1 out of 10. That’s the standout of the whole forecast, which tells you everything. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The second week just fades out. From the 13th of August onwards, it’s back to tiny, onshore, or cross-onshore dribble. Periods are short, energy is minimal, and the wind is always in the wrong direction. The 16th and 17th show some weird long-period, tiny swells, but they’re cross-onshore and basically flat.
So, there you have it. No real standouts, no classic Sandy Mouth days. The closest we get is the morning of Wednesday the 12th, with a clean offshore breeze and a waist-high wave. It’s not much, but it’s the only chance for a clean paddle. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.
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. If you surf the same spot (Sandy Mouth) 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 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.
