The Lowdown
Alright fellas, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Spot x. We’ve got a real mixed bag of a sixteen-day window ahead, with some proper big swell but plenty of wind to fight through. The standouts are going to be specific windows where everything lines up, and we’ve got a few of those to look forward to.
The pattern starts with a massive pulse of swell early on, but it’s getting hammered by onshore winds, making the first few days a write-off. Friday the 4th sees a big 16ft WSW swell rolling in, but with a strong cross-on wind, it’s just a messy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are much the same story – plenty of size, but the wind is ruining it. The combined energy is through the roof (8243 to 6838), but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
We finally get a bit of a reprieve on the morning of Monday the 8th of September. The wind swings offshore and light, the swell is a clean 13ft from the WSW with a proper 17-second period. This is the first real standout. It’s a big, powerful groundswell with very long period, so it’s going to be a heavy, surging wave at this exposed reef. The energy is huge (8467), and the clean conditions will make it an expert-only session. This is a serious wave for the crew who know what they’re doing.
The real gem of the whole forecast, though, is that Tuesday afternoon the 9th of September. The wind drops to absolute glass – 0 mph. The swell holds steady at 13ft from the WSW with a 17-second period, and the energy is still massive (8367). This is the kind of session you dream about. It’s going to be perfect, clean, powerful, and utterly empty. But remember, this is a big, long-period reef break, so it’s for experienced surfers only. It’s going to be a challenging paddle out, but the reward will be epic.
The rest of the week sees smaller, cleaner waves in the 7-10ft range, with decent offshore winds, but nothing with the same power. The morning of Wednesday the 16th of September has another huge pulse of 15ft SW swell, but the wind is offshore again, so it’s another potential standout. The combined energy hits 10894, which is enormous. However, it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the longer-range forecasts as it gets closer.
The Saturday the 19th of September morning has another 13ft SW swell with a 17-second period and light winds, worth noting for the second week.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a hard skip. The best on offer is the Monday morning the 8th and the Tuesday afternoon the 9th of September, with the Tuesday afternoon being the absolute peak. Get your boards ready for that window.

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.
