The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Sandy Mouth. Gotta be straight with you, this is one of those forecasts where you might be better off cleaning the wax off your board and waiting for the next system. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions for the next couple of weeks.
The combined swell energy is barely registering, sitting between 12 and 61 (weak energy) for the bulk of the period. We start off on Thursday the 30th of July with practically nothing – a tiny 1ft from the WNW at a short 8 seconds. The wind is on it or cross-on, making for choppy, poor surf. That theme just carries on day after day. Friday the 31st sees a slight bump to 2ft, but it’s still weak (47) and short period (6 secs), blown out by a cross-onshore breeze. Saturday and Sunday aren't any better.
Now, you might see a flicker of hope on Monday the 3rd of August. We get a 2ft west swell with a cleaner cross-offshore breeze in the morning. The energy is still low (56) but the conditions will be clean. Keep your expectations on the floor though – the data calls it "surfable but very ordinary." That’s as good as it gets for the first week.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Tuesday the 4th of August right through to Thursday the 14th of August, the swell drops to tiny 0.7ft to 1ft rubbish. There are days with clean offshore winds (like Friday the 7th with an offshore breeze, or Thursday the 14th with another clean morning), but with the combined energy falling as low as 6 to 26, you’ll be lucky to find a wave that’s even knee-high. The period is all over the place but mostly short, so there’s no push or power.
The only standout window, if you can call it that, is Monday the 3rd of August in the morning. That’s your best bet for a paddle. The wind will be light and clean, the swell is a tiny 2ft from the west. It’s not pumping, but it’s the cleanest and biggest we see for over a week. After that, it’s a long, flat run until at least the middle of the month.
Honestly, for a spot that’s consistent like Sandy Mouth, this is an unusually blank spell. The forecasts can change, but right now, I'd be finding other things to do. This one’s a write-off for surfers. It’s more of a kite-fishing spot than a surf break this week.
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.
