The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it for Spot x. It's a reef break, very consistent, open to the swell, and it works best when the swell comes from the WSW. Water temp's about 67°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothin' wild, just a little extra warmth.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th? Forget it. We've got a massive 18-foot swell on Saturday but the wind's howlin' onshore at 25 mph. That's a no-go. The energy's huge, but it's all chopped up. Sunday's a bit smaller at 10-foot but still cross-onshore and messy.
Monday the 20th is still rough.
Now, Wednesday the 22nd is the one. A clean 10-foot SW swell with a 14-second period – that's long-period groundswell – and the wind goes glassy in the afternoon. That's as good as it gets. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is strong, the waves will be powerful, and there'll be long waits between sets. Crowds are possible, so plan accordingly.
Thursday the 23rd is clean too with offshore wind, but it's a bit smaller.
Saturday the 25th drops off to 5-foot and cross-onshore. Not worth it.
Now mark your calendar for Sunday the 26th. We've got a 12-foot SW swell with a 17-second period – that's very long period groundswell, massive energy (6866). Wind's cross-offshore and light. This is exceptional for experts. One week out, so it's a promise but not a guarantee – but if it holds, it'll be the best session of the forecast.
Monday the 27th is still clean with offshore wind and a 10-foot swell.
After that, it gets smaller and more marginal. Wednesday the 30th has a 13-foot SW swell but with cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions – that's more for the brave or the kite surfers.
The final days – August 1st and 2nd – are small and clean but nothin' to get excited about.
So, for the experienced crew: Wednesday the 22nd for glassy clean waves, and Sunday the 26th for the big, powerful swell. Beginners should stay away from anything over 5-foot, and that's most of this forecast.

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.
