The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming up at Serrambi.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a slow stretch for surf. We’re looking at a run of generally poor conditions, with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind and weak, short-period swell. For the first couple of weeks, there’s really nothing that’s going to get you excited. The water temp is sitting at 81°, about a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice dip, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.
From Thursday morning the 10th all the way through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, we’ve got near-continuous poor surf calls. Winds are mostly from the east and southeast, blowing onshore or cross-onshore at 9 to 12 mph, with swell heights barely reaching 5 ft. Periods are short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, which means weak, crumbly little waves. The combined swell energy sits between 119 and 394 (moderate at best) but it’s all messy. Kite surfers might get something out of the choppy afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, this is a long wait.
Now, there is one small glimmer. On Thursday the 24th of September, we finally see a shift. The morning shows a 5 ft swell from the east with a long 11-second period and a combined energy of 623 (moderate but noticeably stronger). The wind is cross-on from the northeast at 9 mph, which isn’t ideal, but it’s not as messy. Still, it’s only rated as marginal. The rest of that day and the 25th drop off again.
Given the lack of any standout windows, I’d say hang tight. Serrambi is an inconsistent reef break, so these blank runs happen. If anything, the 24th morning looks like the best shot, but keep your expectations low. The wind and tide will need to line up perfectly.
That’s the story from here.

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