The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks look pretty bleak around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for anything special.
For the first week, from Friday the 7th of August right through to Wednesday the 13th, it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with weak combined swell energy (values from 17 up to 146). The wind is all over the place—mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore—keeping the surface choppy and uninviting. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t offer much relief. From Thursday the 14th of August onward, the swell stays small, with heights barely cracking 3ft and energy levels mostly below 100. Winds do turn offshore or glassy on a few mornings, like Friday the 14th, Sunday the 16th, Monday the 17th, and Tuesday the 18th, which would make the water clean, but with waves that tiny and short-period (4 to 9 seconds), it’s just not going to be any fun. The combined energy is weak, so there’s no push or power to speak of.
Let’s be honest: there are no standout days here. Not a single recommendation to chase. You’d be better off leaving the board in the car and enjoying a cold one on the beach. That’s the reality for this stretch.
Rusty.

Information about the 7th Avenue Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for 7th Avenue provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at 7th Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our 7th Avenue 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 (7th Avenue) 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 7th Avenue 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.
