The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for Shichirigahama – we’re looking at a lean 16 days ahead.
The first week is a write-off. You’ve got a long, flat, and pretty frustrating run from now through to the 3rd of August. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft – basically nothing you can ride. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind does offer some sweet moments, like glassy conditions on the 28th afternoon and the 30th morning, but there's just no wave energy to work with. The combined energy is down in the weak teens and twenties (17–60 range). It’s the kind of stretch where you’re better off checking the kite forecast than your board.
Then things start to change around the 3rd of August. The swell builds, and by the morning of the 4th, we see a moderate wave energy of 343 and clean 2 ft swell from the SE with an offshore wind from the NE. That’s the one real standout in the whole period. The swell direction (SSW optimum) is a miss, but the wind is offshore, which cleans it up nicely. This one’s for the intermediate crowd; the swell is small enough for most. Expect crowds sometimes.
The energy surges again on the 7th and 8th. The 8th of August morning sees a very big 12 ft swell from the S with an onshore wind. That’s expert territory only – the combined energy is a massive 2417, so there’s plenty of power, but the wind is on it, making it messy. It’s more of a spectacle than a session for the average surfer. After that, it drops off quickly into the 9th with weak, unexciting waves.
Look, it’s a long wait. The 4th of August morning is your best bet by a stretch, and even then, keep expectations in check. Forecasts can change, so don't write it off completely.
Rusty.

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