Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Siriu. The first few days are pretty grim, so don’t rush to wet a line just yet. The outlook is poor until around the 12th, so if you’re keen, that’s a good stretch to do some odd jobs or fix your board.

We start on Tuesday the 8th with clean but tiny waves. There’s nothing doing—just over 3ft of short-period swell with a cross-on breeze making it messy. Not worth the paddle out. Wednesday the 9th is a bit better early with glassy conditions and a touch more energy, but it’s still small and weak. The window is tight and the waves are ordinary.

Thursday and Friday are pretty poor. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is weak and slow. There’s a bit of energy on Thursday afternoon, but it’s still lumpy and hard to ride. Friday is worse with rain showers and wind. You’d be fighting it the whole time.

Now, pay attention—Saturday the 12th is where things get real. The swell jumps up to 10ft, and the energy reading is massive (3700). That’s a solid wall of water. But here’s the catch: at this size, Siriu is too big for most. The wind is cross-off and the surface is clean, so it’s looking like a session for the experienced crew only. If you’re not comfortable in heavy water, give it a miss. Sunday the 13th is a big standout though. The swell backs off to a much more manageable 6ft, with light cross-off winds and clean conditions. The energy is still solid (559), and this looks like the pick of the week. Get on it early, maybe a bit on the push.

Monday the 14th turns ugly again with fresh onshores and rain. Not great. Tuesday the 15th is better though, with clean, cross-off winds and head-high sets of 7ft in the morning. The energy is strong (1149). It’s a proper surf day, but not as clean as Sunday. Still, a morning session looks very good.

From the 16th through to the 19th it becomes very up and down. Mostly small and weak with poor wind. A highlight is Friday the 18th morning—clean, glassy-ish, with a 4ft swell and decent period. It’s rideable, but nothing to brag about. The weekend of the 19th and 20th is again poor with onshore winds and small, messy waves.

The following week, from the 20th to the 22nd, is generally small and weak. There are moments of clean conditions, but the waves are just too ordinary to get excited about. The 21st might offer a few waist-high waves with cross-off wind, but it’s marginal at best. The 22nd is small and clean-ish but very weak.

The last day in the window, Wednesday the 23rd morning, is interesting. There’s a glassy start with a 2ft swell and a bit of period. It’s tiny, but the surface will be like a mirror. If you just want to get wet and aren’t fussed about size, it could be a fun one. Afternoon goes onshore, so it’ll chop right out.

So, to sum it up, your standout days are Sunday the 13th and Tuesday the 15th. The 13th is the best overall for clean, powerful surf. The 12th is for the brave only. Otherwise, it’s a drought until then.

Right, I’m off to check the tide charts.

Rusty.
