Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu at Shipwrecks. It's going to be a slow couple of weeks here, so don't get your hopes up too early.
We're looking at a real patchy run with a lot of flat, poor conditions. The water is a balmy 84°F—that's a massive 7°F warmer than what we'd usually see this time of year, so you can ditch the wetsuit. For the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. From Monday the 6th through to that Thursday the 16th, there's hardly a session worth paddling out for. The swell is small, mostly around 3 feet, and the wind is a constant cross-onshore mess leaving it choppy and lumpy. The combined energy barely cracks 500 (weak to moderate), so the ocean just feels flat and gutless. There's nothing to recommend here.
The story changes a bit as we push into the second week. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th see a big pulse of energy, with the combined energy reading strong, at 1628 on Friday morning and a massive 5286 Friday afternoon. Swell jumps up to 12 feet from the S, with a period of 14 seconds on Friday afternoon. But don't get too excited—the wind is howling onshore from the SE at 19 mph, creating a total washing machine. This isn't surf, it's a survival mission for experts only.
The true standout here, and the only window of real quality, is Monday the 20th. The morning is still marginal, but by the afternoon, we get a fantastic switch-up. The wind goes offshore from the NW at a light 6 mph, which will make those 3-foot waves from the S (20-second period) glassy and clean. That's a proper groundswell window at a reef and point break setup, with the combined energy registering a solid 917. That's the best on offer, a real pocket of magic in an otherwise quiet outlook. Crowds are likely here though, so get in the water early.
After that, Tuesday the 21st fades back into mediocrity with onshore breezes and a dropping swell.
So, overall, a tough outlook for Shipwrecks with a long, flat start. Don't hold your breath for the first week. The only pencil in the calendar is that Monday afternoon the 20th—it looks like a gift from the surf gods. The rest is a write-off. Hang in there.

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.
