The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks at Silver Strand.
We’re looking at a pretty flat run for a while, to be honest with you. The first few days are going to be a struggle. For the first week, there’s hardly any energy in the water. The swell is small and weak, and most of the time the wind is either cross-on or blowing straight onshore. It’s not the kind of stuff that gets you out of bed. We’ve got a long gap from the start all the way through to Thursday the 10th of September with basically nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, there is a glimmer. On Thursday the 10th of September in the morning, things look a little different. We’ve got a 1.6 ft swell rolling in from the SW. The swell period is a long 17 seconds, so that’s proper groundswell energy, but the wave comment says "surfable but very ordinary" and the combined energy of all swells directed here is a moderate 213. The real kicker is the wind: glassy conditions. Totally calm. That is a huge positive for cleanliness. It’s still small, so it’s not going to blow your mind, but if you need a fix, that’s your window. The water temperature is sitting about average for the time of year.
After that little window, it looks like we go back into the doldrums. The swell stays tiny, the wind stays onshore, and the scores stay low. Honestly, there isn’t one standout day in this whole forecast that I’d call a true highlight. The glassy morning on the 10th is the best of a pretty quiet bunch.
Wrap it up, lads. See you in the water if that Thursday glass-off shows up.

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.
