The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty.
Alright, we've got a long-range outlook for Spot x, a reef break that's very consistent, so it's always on the radar. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing to write home about. The first real window of opportunity doesn't pop up until Sunday the 30th, so we've got a bit of a gap to wait through.
Sunday the 30th is your standout. The morning session is looking mint. We've got a solid 10ft groundswell from the WSW, with a long 17-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is pumping (6043) and the conditions are clean. This is for the experts, though – that's a serious swell, and the long period will set up some proper lines on the reef. It's a reef break, so it can handle that long period without closing out.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are write-offs with fresh onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The forecast confidence drops a bit after that, but there's a pattern of big, messy swells coming through.
Thursday the 10th of September is another absolute beauty to circle. The afternoon session is forecast to be glassy with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SE. We're looking at a massive 16ft swell from the WSW, with a 17-second period. The wave energy is very strong (12483). This is for experts only – that's a serious amount of water moving. The tide and wind will be aligned, making for exceptional surf.
Sunday the 13th of September also shows some promise. The afternoon is looking glassy – zero wind, flat calm. The swell is a massive 18ft from the WSW with a very long 19-second period, and the energy is enormous (22861). But that's a monster swell, way too big for most, and the period is so long it might not break as cleanly on a beach setup, but for a reef break like this, it'll be a spectacle. This one is a long way out, so it's a promising but less certain prospect.
The rest of the period is a mix of big, windy, and messy conditions, or swells that are just too big for the break. There's a real lack of small, clean days in the mix, so if you're not an expert paddling into the solid stuff, this isn't your window.
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.
