The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Shipwrecks over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet outlook. The surf is small and the conditions are a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at a very warm 88° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need a spring suit for long.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday the 5th. The morning has some small 4 ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (763). The wind is light from the SSE, so it’s clean enough for a grovel on a longboard. The afternoon looks a bit trickier with a risk of thunderstorms and a strong WSW breeze.
Sunday the 6th stays small, with the same SSW groundswell dropping to 3 ft. The morning is again onshore, but the afternoon cleans up with a light cross-offshore W wind. The waves will be small but clean – think fun, not firing.
The standout of the whole run is Friday the 11th. The morning kicks off with glassy conditions – dead calm – and a clean 2 ft SW swell (15-second period, 305 energy). It’s not big, but it’s about as clean as you’ll get here. The afternoon keeps that cross-offshore W wind.
After that, the swell really drops off. From the 12th onward, we’re looking at waist-high or smaller surf. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 16th with 3 ft SSW swell, but the winds are onshore. The 18th shows a little more energy (547) with 2 ft SW swell and clean cross-offshore winds in the afternoon, but it’s still small.
Overall, don’t expect much. This is a run of small, marginal waves. The best bet is to pencil in Friday the 11th for the cleanest conditions, but keep your expectations low. It’s a longboard or a funboard kind of window.
Rusty.

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