The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up here for Spot x. This is a solid, exposed reef break that’s very consistent, so when the swell shows, it shows. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomaly to talk about.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but hold on because there’s plenty of action on the way, mainly built around a long-period SW groundswell.
Alright, let’s start with Tuesday the 15th. The morning is the pick of the first few days. We’ve got a clean 10ft SW swell with a 14-second period pushing in, combined energy is a hefty 3665 (strong wave energy), and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze out of the ENE. The surf is glassy and clean—excellent for experienced surfers. This is proper, powerful stuff. That wind is a major positive. Afternoon gets a bit more tricky with a cross-onshore breeze messing with the face, but the morning alone is worth getting out of bed for.
Wednesday the 16th sees the swell backing off to 7ft, but the morning has a strong offshore cross-off wind that will keep it tidy, though it’s a bit windier. The real treat is the Wednesday afternoon: glassy conditions, a clean 5ft swell, and a combined energy of 1097 (moderate). It’ll be super fun, clean waves. Crowds are sometimes possible here, so you might have company, but it’d be worth it.
Thursday the 17th is a write-off with messy cross-shore winds that get stronger, and the wave quality drops. Friday the 18th is a no-go too—big groundswell but howling 31 mph cross-off winds and poor conditions.
Now, we hit a long gap of poor or marginal conditions. Saturday 19th through to Monday 23rd is a tough stretch: strong winds from the west and northwest, onshore or strong cross-shore, and the swell is either too big for the wind or just a mess. The combined energy values are huge (3665, 5286, 6330), solid wave energy, but the wind absolutely kills it. It’s not for paddling, but with that setup, it might be more interesting for kite surfing.
Then we get to a proper standout window, but you have to be an expert. On the morning of Thursday the 24th, we’ve got a clean-ish cross-shore wind with a 13ft SW swell and a 15-second period. Combined energy is 6665 (very strong wave energy). It’s huge and lumpy, but for the very experienced, there’ll be some deep-water lines. The afternoon has worse wind.
But the real star of the show, the absolute standout, is Friday the 25th. The morning bumps up to 18ft of SW swell with an incredibly long 18-second period. The combined energy is a monstrous 20093 (extremely powerful). The wind is a fresh cross-shore out of the SSE. This is a beast. The forecasts even note that the swell is predicted to be too big for this break, which is a fair warning—this is expert-only territory. Even the afternoon is sitting at 16ft with 18-second period and 15852 energy. For the pros, this is a once-in-a-while session. For everyone else, it’s a day to watch from the cliffs.
The following Saturday the 26th drops to 12ft, but it’s choppy. On the 28th (Monday), things look a bit more manageable with 10ft SW swell and 16-second period, combined energy 4258 (strong), and clean offshore winds from the NNE. That’s another solid morning for experienced surfers, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
So the main takeaway: Tuesday 15th morning is your first clean, powerful session. The absolute big one is Friday 25th for experts only. The week in between is messy and windy. Stay patient.

Information about the Spot x Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spot x provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spot x can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spot x 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 (Spot x) 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 Spot x 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.
Spot x is 75 km (47 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
