The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I've got to level with you – the next 16 days are looking like a total drought for waves. There’s no sugar-coating it, we’re in for a long flat spell. The only spot showing up at all is Smidstrop, a beach and point break that's usually pretty reliable, but it’s just not going to be firing.
For the first week, it's a washout. We're seeing poor surf conditions from the get-go, with small, weak, and unrideable waves. There’s no energy in the water at all. We get a little pulse on Friday, August 7th, with a swell of about 6ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. That's just a choppy, wind-blown mess, not the clean lines we need. The wave energy is moderate at 263, but without any period, it’s gonna be a close-out.
From there, it’s back to nothing. A couple of tiny, weak swells roll through, but they're nothing you'd get out of bed for. The conditions stay poor, with wind and chop ruining whatever small bump shows up. There’s a moment of glassy conditions, but it’s dead flat – a real tease.
Looking further out to the second week, it's the same story. A bit of a bump around the 16th, but it's small and weak. The ocean is just not cooperating. There’s no real swell direction, no power, nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, this is one of those times where the forecast is a big ol' zero. The setup here might be fun for the kite surfers, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a no-go. Keep the board in the garage, and maybe check back next week. Forecasts can change, but this looks like a proper blank run. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Smidstrop Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Smidstrop provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Smidstrop can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Smidstrop 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 (Smidstrop) 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 Smidstrop 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.
