Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, we’ve got a bit of a slow start but the long-range is looking mighty interesting. The first few days have some swell, but the winds are a bit of a headache. The real standout window is further out, so don’t write this one off just yet.

We start Sunday the 6th with a solid 8ft southerly swell rolling in at Siriu. The energy is pumping (1207), but that 30 km/h cross-off wind is a bit of a handful, leaving it marginal. It’s a beginner spot, but it’s a bit on the big side for the less experienced. The water temp is about 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Monday the 7th morning is where it starts to clean up. The swell drops to 5ft from the south, but the wind slackens to a light cross-off, making for some very clean conditions. The energy is still moderate (504). This is a solid session.

The next few days, from Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th, are a mixed bag of onshore winds and smaller, shorter-period swells. There are windows of glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 9th morning with a 5ft ENE swell and glassy wind, giving a clean look. But the periods are short (8 seconds), so it’s a bit of a mushy wave. The energy is moderate (586). Thursday the 10th afternoon is a real treat though – a 3ft SSE swell with a 15-second period, glassy wind, and moderate energy (587). That’s a long-period groundswell making for some lined-up, clean waves. That’s a beauty.

Now, pay attention to Sunday the 13th morning. We get a jump in swell to 7ft from the SSE with a 10-second period and a clean cross-off wind. The energy is strong (942). That’s a powerful, clean setup. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the rest of us, that’s the pick of the first week.

The middle of the week after that, Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, gets messy with onshore winds and choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out for.

But hold on – the real highlight is Sunday the 20th afternoon. Look at this: an 8ft ENE swell, glassy wind, and the energy is off the charts at 2010. That’s a serious, powerful swell with perfect conditions. This is for experienced surfers only; it’s too big for the average punter. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a wind swell, but with that much energy and glass, it’s going to be a freight train at Siriu. That is the standout of the entire 16 days.

Overall, the best surf is on Sunday the 13th morning for a clean, powerful SSE swell, and the absolute winner is Sunday the 20th afternoon – a massive, glassy ENE swell for the experts. Keep your eye on that one.

Rusty.
