Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's heading our way for Siriu over the next couple of weeks.

The story starts a bit slow, but it builds into a classic run with some real gems, especially if you’re an experienced surfer. That first Friday morning (10th July) is actually glassy with a light 3ft ESE swell, but the wave energy is weak (314), so it’s more of a gentle paddle than a proper session. A beginner could have a fun time though. The water is 60°, which is 6° colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

Saturday (11th) is a write-off with rain and messy cross-shore winds. The swell bumps up a touch on Sunday morning (12th July) to 4ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, and we get clean conditions thanks to a cross-offshore SW breeze at 15 km/h. The energy is strong (1057), and while it’s not huge, that’s the first proper standout – clean, punchy, and well-shaped for experienced crew on a beach break setup.

Monday morning (13th) keeps it clean with a cross-offshore wind and a 6ft southerly swell at 8 seconds. That’s a bit short period, so the waves will be steeper and more dumpy, but for stronger surfers, the wave energy is solid (843). Tuesday morning (14th) is the real highlight here – glassy conditions, 6ft of SE swell with a 10-second period, and the energy is pumping (755). If you can get out before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, that’s your session.

We hit a rough patch from Wednesday (15th) through to Monday (20th), with moderate to fresh cross-shore winds making a mess of things. Most of those days are poor or marginal. The swell sticks around in the 4ft to 6ft range, but the wind just won't play ball.

Things turn around again on Tuesday morning (21st July) – glassy conditions with a light 4ft ENE swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so the energy is weak (279). It’s a decent recovery session. The real standout of the entire outlook, though, is Wednesday morning (22nd July). You’ve got a 7ft SSE swell, a 7-second period, and clean conditions with a light cross-offshore SW breeze. The wave energy is very strong (948), and it’s only for the brave – that size on a short period is heavy, powerful, and will be a handful. Thursday morning (23rd) is also clean and solid at 6ft from the south, with a good 985 energy reading.

The last few days (24th and 25th July) tail off into waist-high cleaner leftover swell with light offshore winds and glassy periods, which will be perfect for a longboard or a fun mid-length to finish the run. Crowds at Siriu are listed as "sometimes", so on those clean weekend mornings, don't be surprised to see a few others out.

Overall, if you’re experienced, lock in Sunday 12th, Tuesday 14th, and for the big stuff, Wednesday 22nd. For the beginners, Friday 10th and the final weekend are your windows.

Rusty.
