Table - best surf conditions forecast for Silver Strand over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next 16 days. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. The forecast kicks off Thursday, July 9th, and runs all the way through to Friday, July 24th, but honestly, every single session in that window is labeled as having poor surf conditions. There’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. It’s a real flat spell.
We’re looking at Silver Strand, a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent but aimed at advanced surfers. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there. The swell is tiny, mostly hanging around 1ft to 3ft, and the main direction is out of the SSW, dropping to a short-period W windswell later. The combined energy of all swells here is weak, rarely topping 200 (294) and often dipping below 150. That’s just not enough to push anything rideable.
The wind is light, mostly cross-on or onshore, which is a small mercy, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no wave to ride. Some mornings have a slight air or light breeze, but the energy is just gone. The best you can say is around Wednesday, July 15th, there’s a 3ft swell from the W with a 9-second period, but the wind is onshore and the surf quality is still listed as poor. It’s not one for the log.
For the entire 16-day run, there’s nothing to recommend. The consistency is there, but the size and quality aren’t. If you’re a kite surfer, the light onshore breeze and small, weak windswell might look more interesting than a paddle session, but for a surfer, it’s a write-off. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this quiet forever, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
