Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up at Siriu. The first few days aren’t offering much to get excited about, but there’s a couple of moments that’ll have you checking your boardies. The waiting game is on.

Thursday the 13th morning is the standout. Cloudy skies, a light 6 mph cross-off wind from the SSW, and the water’s pumping with a solid 6 ft SSE swell, period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy – the combined energy is a hefty 1459. This is clean, powerful stuff, but with 6 ft, it’s really for experienced surfers only. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a steamer is optional. That morning is the best on offer, hands down. The afternoon sees it drop off a touch with rain and a cross-shore wind.

Friday the 14th is a write-off. Onshore wind and rain all day, with a messy 6 ft to 6 ft swell. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are poor with strong cross-winds and a short-period, weak swell. The energy drops to 658 and then 438 – it’s all over the place. Monday the 17th gets a bit hairy with 7 ft to 8 ft ENE swell, but winds are strong and cross-onshore, making it choppy and unappealing. That’s for the brave or the kites.

Then we hit a dry spell. Tuesday the 18th through to Saturday the 22nd sees mostly poor conditions, with a mix of onshore winds, small swell, or clean but weak energy. On Saturday the 22nd afternoon, the period pushes to 12 seconds, but it’s a cross-shore mess.

Now, here’s the real promise. Sunday the 23rd morning is another gem. Clear skies, light 6 mph cross-off wind from the SSW, and a clean 7 ft S swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 1399. That’s excellent, powerful stuff for the experienced crew. That morning is the second true standout.

Monday the 24th morning is worth a look too. Glassy conditions with a light 3 mph NNE wind, 5 ft SSE swell, and a 9-second period. The energy is milder at 332, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and fun for a wider range of surfers. That’s a sneaky good session.

The rest of the week into the 28th is mostly average. A few clean moments with onshore winds creeping back in, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The swell stays small to moderate, and the energy rarely cracks 400. The 27th afternoon has a glassy moment with a 5 ft S swell, but it’s short period.

Overall, hit Thursday the 13th morning or Sunday the 23rd morning for the best waves. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
