The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let's have a look at what's coming our way. This is Spot X, a reef setup that's very consistent and exposed to the WSW swell.
Alright, so we've got a bit of a wait for the really good stuff. The week starts off with clean conditions, but the swell is a bit much for the average joe. Thursday morning, July 23rd, we've got a solid 8ft SW groundswell rolling in, with a period of 14 seconds. The wind is a clean offshore from the NE, so it's gonna be glassy. The water's sitting at 66°, which is just about average for now. The combined energy is pumping, reading 2424, so there's plenty of push. This is proper experienced surfer territory, that size is no joke for a reef.
Friday, July 24th, drops a touch to 5ft SW, still with good period and clean conditions. It's a solid step down from Thursday, but a much more manageable size for a good session. The energy is down to 859, but still plenty of fun to be had.
Saturday the 25th, the wind picks up a bit, but it's still cross-offshore. Swell is around 6ft from the WSW, with moderate energy. It's a bit of a messy day, but still surfable.
Sunday the 26th, things get a bit wild. A big 13ft to 16ft pulse hits, but the wind swings onshore and messes it up. That's a big stormy mess, not for us. The energy is massive, hitting 7811 on Sunday afternoon, but it's a cross-shore chop.
Monday the 27th, the swell is still big at 12ft, but the wind is light and cross-shore. It's better than Sunday, but it's still a lumpy, challenging wave.
Now, Tuesday July 28th is a standout. The swell drops back to 8ft, but it's back to that clean offshore NE wind. It's a beautiful, powerful SW groundswell, with a period of 14 seconds. The energy is huge at 3002. This is the best day of the first week.
The next couple of days, Wednesday and Thursday, the swell backs off a bit, but it stays clean. The wind is cross-offshore, and the swell is around 5ft to 7ft, but the period is getting long. This will be a bit straighter at the reef, but still workable.
Now, for the second week, we've got a real promising run. Friday, July 31st, a new pulse of 12ft WSW swell arrives with a very long 18-second period. The wind is light and cross-shore, so the sets will be clean and powerful. The energy is massive at 7485. This is a long-range standout, but it looks promising.
The real best of the whole run, though, looks like Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd. Saturday afternoon, we're looking at a 13ft SW groundswell, with a 15-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is reading 8994, which is massive. This is big, powerful, and clean. It's for experts only, but it's going to be epic. The water is still a bit warm, but nothing unusual.
Monday and Tuesday of the next week, the swell holds at 10ft to 13ft, with clean offshore winds, but it's blowing a bit stronger. Still great waves.
The last few days of the forecast, from August 5th onward, the wind goes completely berserk. Gale-force onshore winds ruin it. The surf will be huge and completely blown out. That's a kite surfer's dream, not a paddle surfer's.
So, the standout days are Tuesday, July 28th, for the clean, powerful reef session, and the whole run from Friday, August 1st, through to Tuesday, August 5th, looks like a solid window of big, clean, expert-level swell. Keep your eyes on that Saturday, August 1st afternoon.

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.
