The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks at Sandy Mouth. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’ve got a solid stretch of nothing happening, so don’t get your hopes up for a quick fix.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, July 28th with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW and a 9-second period. The combined energy is a measly 32, so there’s just no push. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing. We’ve got a clean light breeze, but the waves are just too small to bother with. This flat spell drags on. Wednesday morning the 29th sees a 2ft swell from the west, but it’s still poor. Thursday and Friday, the swell gets a bit bigger but the period drops to a horrible 5-6 seconds, making for crumbly, weak waves. The wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It’s all a big nope.
Saturday and Sunday, August 1st and 2nd, are still tiny. There’s a moment Sunday morning with a glassy 1ft swell from the west, but the energy is just 23 – it’s a lake, not surf. The following week, from Monday the 3rd through to Saturday the 9th, is a mixed bag of tiny, weak, and poorly shaped waves. The combined energy mostly stays below 80, and the comment is “poor surf conditions” for nearly every session.
Then, on Monday, August 10th, things finally change. The swell jumps to 5ft from the west, with a 9-second period. The combined energy hits 436 (strong energy). But here’s the kicker – the wind is howling onshore from the west at 12 mph, making it a choppy, messy mess. The rating is still a zero. It’s a lot of water moving, but it’s not surfable. Tuesday the 11th is a tease. The morning shows a 4ft west swell, with light offshore winds from the NE. The combined energy is 159 (moderate energy). The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s the best on offer, but it’s hardly a standout. The afternoon goes back to messy cross-onshore junk.
Wednesday the 12th has a 5ft to 6ft swell from the WSW and W, with onshore winds. The energy is 310 to 450, but it’s all blown out and poor. That’s the end of the 16-day window.
So, honestly, there’s no real standout here. If you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning, August 11th session is the only one with a clean wind and a pulse of swell that’s not completely flat. But it’s a marginal call. For the rest of it, leave the board in the car and go for a walk. This is a long, dry stretch.

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.

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.
