The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a real look at what’s headed to Silver Strand.
The short story is we are looking at a long, flat run. Across the whole 16-day outlook, there are no good surf options. The forecast keeps spitting out tiny, weak surf with dodgy wind for days on end, right through to the 11th of August. For this spot, a stretch like that is pretty normal, but it still ain’t fun. Keep an eye out – forecasts can flip, and it rarely stays this poor forever.
The first chance we had would’ve been Monday morning, July 27th. A little 0.7m south-southwest groundswell, with a very long 18-second period, but the energy was weak (334). Winds were onshore from the west at 6 mph, not doing it any favors. The water is much warmer than average for this time of year – 70°F, which is a whopping 7°F above normal. That’s very unusual, and you’ll notice it if you paddle out.
After that morning, it’s all quiet. Through the end of July and the first week of August, the swell stays tiny – between 0.7 ft and 3 ft – with periods dropping into short range. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it sloppy. Energy readings are low, mostly two-digit or low three-digit numbers. By August 6th we’re down to 0.7 ft of 21-second swell. That’s a super long period for a wave that size, and it won’t have any punch.
Plain and simple: leave the board at home. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. If conditions shift and a real swell pops up, things might change, but for now, it’s a total washout.
Rusty.

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.
