Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet for those who don’t think in metres.
We start with a grim run. Sunday morning the 5th might show you 4ft from the SE but it’s marginal with cross-off wind. Not worth suiting up. Monday through Wednesday of that first week is properly ugly – the swell builds but the wind is all cross-onshore and choppy. Swell hits 10ft to 13ft with a stiff breeze – that’s expert only and honestly, looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The wave energy numbers are huge – Tuesday morning has 14018, Tuesday afternoon 14618, Wednesday afternoon hits 8952 – all that power but wind-ruined.
Thursday the 9th still has 10ft but wind is cross-on. No thanks.
Friday the 10th drops to 8ft with cross-shore breeze – marginal but maybe a sneaky one. Energy’s 1979.
Saturday the 11th morning gets interesting – 7ft with glassy offshore wind from the WSW. That’s clean. Swell direction is S, period 12 seconds – decent groundswell. Energy’s 1625. Not a standout but a pickable session.
The real gem is Sunday the 12th morning. Swell drops to 2ft but it’s glassy. Period is 18 seconds – that’s a long, clean groundswell from the SSW. Skateparks is a reef, so you’ll get those long, lined-up walls. Energy is 801, moderate.
Then there’s a gap – Monday and Tuesday are small, 2ft or less. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 15th picks up – afternoon has 5ft with a 21-second period and ESE cross-off wind. Energy 2739. Building nicely.
But the standout call is Thursday the 16th. Morning gives you 7ft from the SSW, 18 seconds, light offshore wind from the east. Clean, powerful. Energy 2950. Afternoon is even better – 7ft, clean cross-off, period still 18 seconds. That’s the best session of the whole forecast. For experienced surfers only.
Friday the 17th morning has 10ft – too big for this break – but Friday afternoon is glassy with 8ft and 17-second period. Smooth and powerful. Energy 4097.
Saturday the 18th is all too big – 12ft with clean wind but the forecast says it’s too much for the break.
Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th drops to 8ft and 7ft with clean wind, nothing special.
So overall – first week is a bust, Sunday the 12th morning is a small glassy treat, and Thursday the 16th afternoon is the big standout for the experienced crew. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so keep your eyes open.
Rusty.

Information about the Skateparks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Skateparks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Skateparks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Skateparks surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Skateparks) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Skateparks may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
