The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about what’s on the table for Sandy Mouth. The whole 16-day window looks like a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a couple of faint glimmers way out at the end. The water is sitting at 64°F on Friday morning, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news from the get-go.
The first real surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday, the 7th of August. Before that, it’s a full-on drought. From today, the 24th of July, all the way through to Thursday the 6th of August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. Expect a lot of cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy mess. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wave energy is low, mostly in the double digits. There’s a little bump on Sunday the 26th with 6ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a fresh 18-21 mph cross-onshore, making it a total write-off. That’s not surfing, that’s a washing machine.
We finally get a pulse of life on Friday morning, the 7th of August. The wind goes glassy, with 3ft swell from the WSW. The conditions are surfable, but very ordinary. The wave energy is moderate (90). The swell period is 7 seconds, so it’s a weak, short-period windswell. It’s the only window in the entire outlook where the wind is calm, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, that morning is your best bet. The afternoon turns back to messy cross-onshore.
Saturday the 8th of August shows a bigger pulse of 6ft from the WSW, with a moderate wave energy (434). The period is 9 seconds, so a bit more push. The morning wind is light cross-shore, which is the best wind we see for that size. It’s still a marginal forecast, with questionable tide, but it’s the best-looking swell of the whole 16 days. That morning is the only other window worth a look. The afternoon goes back to choppy cross-onshore.
So, the standout is honestly the Friday morning, the 7th of August, at Sandy Mouth. It’s the only glassy session, even if the waves are tiny. The Saturday morning, the 8th of August, has the most size but the conditions are a bit more sketchy. For the rest of the outlook, it’s a long, blank run. Sometimes it just goes flat and messy like this.
Signing off, 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.
