Table - best surf conditions forecast for Silver Strand over the next 16 days.
Right then, let's talk about what's on offer for Silver Strand over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, looking at the whole run, it's a pretty quiet outlook. There's nothing that's going to get the heart rate up, with wave heights barely ticking over. The water temp is sitting around 65°F, which feels a touch warmer than you'd normally expect for this time of year at Silver Strand.
We kick off Sunday, July 12th, and it's a non-starter. You're looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the SSW, with a light cross-onshore breeze and the combined wave energy is weak at 132 km/h. The same story rolls into Monday and Tuesday – really small surf and poor conditions. There's a bit of a gap here, a few days of nothing worthwhile.
The first flicker of something comes on Wednesday, July 15th. The swell bumps up just a fraction to 3 ft from the west, though the period is a short 6 seconds. It's still getting a cross-onshore breeze, but the energy is still moderate at 132 km/h. Still, it's a no-go for a decent wave.
Thursday, July 16th actually shows a touch more promise. The morning has a 3 ft swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is light and onshore. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 233 km/h. It's not a standout, but it's the best of a bad bunch. Still, with that onshore wind, it's not going to be clean.
After that, we're back into the doldrums. From Friday, July 17th right through to the end of the forecast on the 27th, it's all minimal swell, often below 2 ft, and mixed with onshore breezes most of the time. There's a bit of a long-period groundswell trying to push in around the 18th from the SW at 18 seconds, but the swell height is only 1 ft, so the energy is weak (120 km/h). It’s a tease, not a wave you can ride.
Honestly, for this entire sixteen-day window, there's no day worth paddling out for. The breaks are inconsistent and the swell is just too small for any real surfing. Sometimes it just stays flat like this. Keep an eye on it, forecasts can change, but for now, this is a blank run.

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.
