The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty bleak run for Silver Strand. There’s swell running, sure, but the quality just isn’t there for a proper paddle session. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions stretching out across the 16-day window.
The Overview
Right out of the gate this Sunday morning, the 23rd of August, we’re looking at tiny swell at 1.0 ft from the SSW with a 13-second period. The energy is weak (59), and with the wind coming from the west at 6 mph – that’s onshore, so the face will be chopped. Water temp is sitting at 70 °F, which is a solid 6 °F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll feel that bathwater.
This same song plays all through the first week. The swell bumping around 1 ft to 2 ft through Sunday the 23rd to Thursday the 27th, but it's onshore wind and poor surf conditions. There’s a bit of a spike in combined energy on the 28th (Friday, 234) and 29th (Saturday, 346), but that's still from the SSW and mostly onshore. It’s just not lining up.
We roll into the second week, and honestly, it’s more of the same. Tuesday the 1st of September, we drop back to tiny, weak 2 ft to 2 ft swell with a short, weak 9-second period. The energy is barely registering (76-96), and the light cross-onshore breeze won't help. This trend sticks until the 7th of September.
Now, the 7th of September, Monday afternoon. That’s the one and only standout here. The wind finally goes glassy from the SW. The swell is still on the small side at 2 ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period, and the energy is moderate (149). It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary". With the glassy conditions, it might offer the only clean wave of the entire outlook, but you’ll be hunting for the little ones. Keep your expectations low.
The Verdict
Honestly, this isn't a surf window to get excited about. The constant onshore and cross-onshore winds kill the quality across the board. The only blip is that glassy afternoon on the 7th of September, but it’s tiny. If you’re desperate for a paddle, focus on the small clean windows. For the rest of the time, the setup here at Silver Strand is more interesting for the kite surfers than us. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, it's a tough stretch.

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.

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.
