Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, looking at what's on offer for Siriu over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, this stretch is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a slow start, a few days of weak, sloppy surf, but then a real pulse of energy comes through towards the end of the first week and into the second. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year.

The first few days are pretty ordinary. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd of August have small, short-period swell, around 3ft to 4ft, with a cross-onshore or cross wind making it choppy. Not worth getting wet for. Tuesday the 4th sees a jump in energy with a combined energy value of 452, but the swell is a bit mixed and conditions are still marginal.

The first real standout comes on Wednesday the 5th. The morning session looks clean with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW and a 3ft SSE swell at 10 seconds. The combined energy is 209 (moderate), but the real beauty is the glassy conditions on the afternoon, with the wind dropping to a glassy 3 mph from the ESE and the swell holding at 3ft. It's not a big day, but it will be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly spot.

After a bit of a lull Thursday and Friday, things start to get interesting. The standout of the entire forecast is definitely Monday the 10th of August. The afternoon session shapes up with a clean 5ft SSE groundswell, a 14-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the SW. The combined energy is a solid 1071 (strong). This is a proper, clean groundswell with good power. The 14-second period means longer gaps between sets, making it easier to get out the back, and the cross-offshore wind will keep the faces tidy. This is the pick of the fortnight for experienced surfers, as the 5ft size is getting a bit chunky for beginners.

Tuesday the 11th also looks excellent for the experienced crew, with an 8ft S swell and a 12-second period, offering powerful waves. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore wind, but the size is pushing into expert-only territory. The following Wednesday morning the 12th is also a standout, with a glassy 6ft SSE swell. It's a bit smaller than Tuesday, but the glassy conditions and the 12-second period will make for some really nice, clean waves.

From Thursday the 13th onwards, the swell eases back down to the 4ft to 5ft range, but conditions remain mostly clean through the mornings, making for some fun, smaller waves. The 14th and 15th of August have some clean morning windows with light winds, but the swell is a bit smaller and the period is dropping. The second week has less energy overall, but some clean mornings with small waves are still possible.

Overall, the best windows are the afternoon of Monday the 10th, and the mornings of Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th. Get in the water for those.

Rusty.
