The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk the same outlook, but in feet, Fahrenheit, and miles per hour.
This reef break is very consistent and exposed. Water temp is about 67°, which is a degree warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel it.
Tuesday the 21st kicks off with 8ft from the SW, period 12 seconds, cross-onshore wind at 9 mph. Messy. Combined energy is strong at 2120, but it’s not pretty. Wednesday the 22nd morning is your first real highlight – 7ft, SW, period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s long-period groundswell. Wind is light at 6 mph, cross-offshore. Clean. Energy hits 3977. Wednesday afternoon gets bigger at 12ft but wind turns cross-shore. Thursday the 23rd is clean all day with offshore and cross-off winds, swell 8ft dropping to 7ft.
Friday the 24th drops to 5ft, period 12 seconds, but still clean. Energy is moderate at 859. Saturday the 25th is 4ft to 6ft from the WSW, period 13 seconds. Clean but small.
Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 28th is a write-off. Strong winds at 25 mph plus, lumpy, cross-onshore, onshore. Big energy but zero quality. Wednesday the 29th has 4ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, but light cross winds and rain. Not great. Thursday the 30th is tiny – 3ft to 4ft, clean but low energy.
Friday the 31st morning picks up – 7ft, WSW, 18 seconds, energy 4608, clean. Friday afternoon is the standout: 12ft, WSW, 16 seconds, light wind, clean, energy 5644. That’s big and clean for experts. Saturday August 1st is 8ft clean in the morning but gets choppy in the afternoon. Sunday August 2nd morning is another big day – 12ft, WSW, 16 seconds, energy 6766, clean. Sunday afternoon hits 15ft, WSW, 19 seconds, energy 15316. That’s huge – probably too big for most. Monday August 3rd stays excellent with 13ft to 10ft, clean, offshore wind in the morning.
Tuesday August 4th onward? Onshore winds, lumpy, messy. Not worth it.
Best calls: Wednesday 22nd morning, Thursday 23rd, and then Friday 31st afternoon through Monday August 3rd. That last run is the gold – just watch out for the absolute monsters on Sunday and Monday.
Rusty.

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.
