The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Spot x (reef), but it’s not all smooth sailing. The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch of summer still hanging around.
The first standout is Saturday morning, 15 August. The swell is a punchy 8 ft from the WSW with a period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy is a hefty 2613 – that’s some serious grunt. The wind is NNE at 16 mph, cross-off, keeping it clean. This is a solid wave, but at that size, it’s more for experienced surfers. The reef handles the long-period groundswell well, so the shape should be good. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The next real highlight comes on Friday morning, 21 August. The swell drops to 12 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, still big and powerful. But the wind is glassy – NNE at just 3 mph – and that’s the magic touch. The combined energy is 4679, so there’s plenty of push. This is a morning for the experienced crew only; the size and the reef make it no place for beginners.
Then on Saturday morning, 22 August, we get another beauty. The swell is 8 ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period – that’s pure groundswell, lots of energy (combined energy 4706), and the wind is light off-shore from the ESE at 3 mph. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and running long. The long period means the sets will be spaced out, but the trade-off is quality. Again, keep an eye on crowds.
Looking further out, Friday morning, 28 August, also has potential. The swell is 8 ft from the WSW with a 17-second period, and glassy conditions with SSW wind at just 3 mph. The combined energy is 3752. It’s another promising window, but we’re getting into the second week, so take that with a grain of salt – forecasts can shift.
There are some rough patches in between. From Sunday, 16 August, through Thursday, 20 August, the wind swings onshore, the swell jumps over 13 ft, and conditions get messy. That stretch is really only for the hardcore, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. A similar pattern hits around 30 August, so expect another gap in quality.
Overall, the best windows are Saturday morning, 15 August, and Friday morning, 21 August. If you can, aim for those glassy, clean slots.
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.
