The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. The outlook for Shipwrecks over the next 16 days is a tough one to write. There's a whole lot of "meh" and not much to get the heart pumpin'. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is much warmer than average for the season.
Starting off on Monday, August 10th, it's a bit of a downer. We've got a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a southerly breeze messin' it up, making for choppy conditions. The energy is weak (310). That's the story for most of the first week. Tuesday the 11th sees a bit more energy in the water (419) from a longer period groundswell, but the wind is still not your friend. By Friday the 14th, the swell pushes up to 3ft and the energy hits a moderate 682, but it's still cross-on and the forecast is only marginal.
Honestly, the whole first week is pretty poor. Wrong wind, small waves, and nothing to write home about.
Then, right at the end of the outlook, we get a ray of hope. On Sunday, August 23rd, the swell drops right back to 2ft, but the wind finally swings offshore from the WSW in the afternoon. That clean wind, combined with a long-period (18-second) groundswell from the SW (moderate energy of 401), makes for the only real standout of the whole period. It's a reef setup so the long period is a good thing, but at that size, it's strictly a log day. If you've got a big board and patience, that's your best shot, but don't expect much.
The rest of the time? It's small, it's messy, and it's pretty quiet. That's the run of it at Shipwrecks for a while.

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.
