Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening at Silver Strand.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this one’s a bummer. The start of the outlook is a wasteland. We’re talking days and days with no surf to speak of. The swell is barely a bump, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is pathetic. You’ll be sitting on the beach watching the ripples for a solid two weeks.
That stretch of flatness runs all the way through to the middle of July. The combined swell energy barely cracks triple digits, and when it does, it’s coupled with poor wind. There’s a moment on the morning of Monday the 16th of July where the wind goes glassy – a light breeze from the southwest, the water goes like a mirror – but the swell is only 1ft from the southwest with an energy of just 67. It’s a tease, not a session.
The only window that’s worth mentioning comes on the morning of Sunday the 19th of July. A light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE cleans things up, and we get 1ft of southwest swell with a 16-second period. The energy ticks up to 103, which is still weak, but the comment says it’s surfable. After weeks of nothing, that’s your best shot.
This is a sandbar break that needs a proper kick to get interesting, and we just don’t have it right now. It’s a normal quiet spell for the area, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.
Keep that Sunday morning in mind if you’re desperate, but don’t expect much.
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.
