The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. Let's talk Sandy Mouth. It's a grim outlook, to be honest. The water is a touch warmer than usual for the season, sitting about 64°, which is a little different, but that's about the only thing that's not disappointing.
We're staring down a massive 13-day stretch of no good surf, starting now and going through the first week of August. Every session is written off. The wind is a constant cross-on or onshore blow, often strong, and the waves are just a lumpy, choppy mess. The wave energy is never more than moderate, mostly in the weak-to-moderate range. It's a total desert.
Then, finally, on the morning of Sunday, August 9th, we get a tiny window. The swell will be about 6 feet from the west-northwest, but the crucial bit is the wind: flat calm, glassy. That's a huge positive – the water will be like a mirror. The combined energy climbs to 288, which is moderate, but that clean surface is the saviour. The period's only 6 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, not a deep-ocean groundswell, so the waves will be a bit soft and not have much of a push. It'll be rideable, but not a world-beater.
By Sunday afternoon, the swell bumps up over 7 feet from the west, but a light cross-onshore breeze springs up, and the forecast calls it "marginal." That size with even a little wind at a beach break will make it pretty unruly, only for the experienced crew.
Monday, August 10th, brings the wind back onshore hard, and we're back to square one. So, your only real shot is that glassy Sunday morning on the 9th. Sandy Mouth is a beach break, so that long-period warning doesn't matter, but those short-period waves will mean gutless, crumbly rides. It's a rare moment of peace in a long, windy siege.
Rusty.

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.
