The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the local stretch.

We’re kickin’ things off at Shichirigahama – a river mouth setup that’s a bit fickle. It’s inconsistent, but when it lines up, it can be a gem. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 80°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The best window in this whole 16-day run is gonna be Thursday afternoon, August 6th. We’ve got a solid 6ft, 13-second SSW groundswell pumping in, carrying a heap of energy (1064). That’s a moderate-to-strong energy level, so you’ll feel the push. The wind is a light cross-on from the S at 6 mph, which is a bit of a bummer – it’ll put a few small ripples on the surface. It’s not glassy, but it’s workable, and that’s the biggest swell we’re gonna see. Friday morning, August 7th, is a close second with 5ft of the same S swell (962 energy), but again, the wind is a light cross-on. It’s okay, but Thursday arvo is the pick.

After that, it’s a sad story. The swell drops off a cliff. The rest of the first week and all of the second week is a write-off for any decent surf. We’re talking tiny 0.7ft to 2ft for days on end, with most of it getting a score of zero. The wind does go offshore a few times – like on Tuesday morning, August 11th, with a fresh NNE breeze at 19 mph – but the swell is just not there. There’s a brief moment on Sunday morning, August 9th, with 2ft of S swell and a light cross-off wind from the E, giving clean conditions, but it’s just too small to get excited about.

Realistically, you’ve got one decent chance on Thursday arvo. After that, there’s a gap of about 12 days where the surf is basically flat. There’s a tiny flicker of life on Thursday morning, August 20th, with 2ft of SE swell and a light offshore from the NE, but it’s still just marginal. Nothing to pack the car for. The river mouth needs a proper push, and it’s just not gettin’ it.

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.
