The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run ahead. We’ve got a long, bleak stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The first recommendation isn't until Sunday the 16th, and even then, it’s only just barely worth a mention. That’s over a week of flat, messy nothing.
For the first week, from Saturday the 8th right through Saturday the 15th, it’s all poor surf. Tiny little 0.7ft to 2ft swells from the SSW, with weak to moderate energy (anywhere from 75 to 237 on the energy scale). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comments are all "poor surf conditions." Nothing to get excited about.
Finally, on Sunday the 16th, we see a tiny glimmer. Silver Strand (sandbar) shows a 2ft SSW swell with a moderate energy reading of 283. A light offshore wind from the WSW is a good sign, meaning it should be clean. The water temp is about average for the time of year. But the comment is "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions" – so it’s a long shot. For an advanced surfer only, and even then, it's a maybe.
The next potential window comes Monday the 17th afternoon. We get a 4ft swell from the west, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s weak, choppy junk. The energy is high at 261, but with that short period and onshore wind, it’s just a messy closeout. The morning of the 22nd and 23rd of August also shows a 3ft west swell with short 8 to 9 second periods, but again, the wind is not clean, and it’s “poor surf conditions.”
The best on offer, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 16th. It’s clean, but tiny and marginal. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a wasteland. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board. That’s all I’ve got. Stay patient.

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