The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Scarborough Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some real gems hidden in there if you’re patient.
We’ve got a slow start, but things really kick off after the weekend. The standout window is shaping up to be Monday, the 27th of July through the start of August. The real highlight looks like Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a nice 14-second period, and the wind is glassy offshore from the east. That’s clean, lined-up, and punchy. The water temperature is a bit colder than normal at 64°, so don’t forget the booties. This is the pick of the bunch for sure.
The lead-up isn’t great. Saturday the 25th is a write-off with messy onshore winds, and Sunday the 26th is a total no-go with strong onshore winds and a lumpy, short-period swell that’s a chore. Monday morning the 27th has some serious size (7ft) and a clean cross-off breeze, but the wind is light from the SSE, making it a bit more of a challenge for the average punter. Better for the experienced crew.
After that Tuesday session, we get a few more good mornings. Wednesday the 29th is smaller but clean, and Thursday the 30th is similar. The first weekend of August (the 1st and 2nd) also looks promising with a cleaner, offshore breeze on Sunday morning, though the swell drops a bit.
The second week gets messy again. The 3rd and 4th of August are blown out with strong winds and big, lumpy waves. Not much to write home about there. Then things clean up again on Wednesday the 5th with a solid 6ft groundswell and light offshore winds – a great session for the experienced surfer.
The real standout for the big-wave hunters, however, is way out on Saturday the 8th of August. It’s a long-range call, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the forecast is for a massive 10ft W swell with glassy offshore winds. The energy is very strong (3563). That’s a big, clean, powerful ocean. Definitely only for the experts, but if it comes together, it’ll be an absolute classic.
Rusty.

Information about the Scarborough Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Scarborough Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Scarborough Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Scarborough Beach 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 (Scarborough Beach) 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 Scarborough Beach 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.
