Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, Rusty here again, this time in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
Alright, let’s get down to it. This forecast is a bit of a stinker to start. From now until around Saturday, July 5th, the wind is just naughty – onshore and cross-on all day. There’s some swell, sure, but the quality is terrible. It’s a full-on dry spell for any decent waves.
Things start looking a little less bleak from Sunday, July 6th. The swell picks up, but the wind is still a problem. We get some longer period groundswell, up to 20 seconds, which means better shape but longer waits. The wave energy is moderate, around 787. You might snag a few, but it’s all marginal.
Your best chance in the first half is Tuesday, July 8th. We’ve got a solid 4ft SSW swell, with periods of 18 seconds. The energy is strong, reading between 1024 and 1079. Wind is cross-on in the morning and cross in the afternoon – not glassy, but rideable. For a reef and point like Shipwrecks, this is the kind of south groundswell it loves. It’s fairly consistent, and crowds are often a problem here. Tuesday morning is the pick of the bunch if you’re keen.
But then the window slams shut. From Thursday, July 10th through to about July 16th, it’s back to poor surf. Wind is on or cross-on, swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, and energy is weak to moderate. Not worth suiting up.
Looking further out, on Saturday, July 19th, we’ve got a big pulse of swell showing up. A 6ft to 8ft SSW swell with 12 to 13 second periods and energy readings hitting a very strong 1768. That’s a lot of ocean moving. At that size, you need to be an expert. Wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s not perfect, but the raw power is there. Keep your eye on it.
So, first full week is a no-go, Tuesday the 8th is your window, and the 19th could be a big one for experienced crew.
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.
