Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down this swell window.
The water’s sitting at 67°, which is about normal for the season. The main spot we’re talking about is Spot x, a reef that’s very consistent and wide open to the swell. It works best when the swell comes from the WSW, and that’s exactly what’s happening.
We kick things off on Friday, July 3rd. First light, we’ve got a solid 10ft groundswell from the southwest, with a very long 14-second period and a huge energy reading (3200). The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, keeping things clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers only—at this size, the reef is serious. Friday afternoon drops to about 8ft but stays glassy with a light cross-off breeze.
Saturday the 4th is a step down. Swell holds between 8ft and 10ft from the SW, but a strong 19 mph NNE cross-off wind makes it messy. Sunday the 5th is a full washout with onshore winds and rain.
Now, Monday the 6th of July is your standout. Monday morning is clean with a 12ft WSW groundswell at 15 seconds. By the afternoon, it’s pumping 13ft at 16 seconds, with energy reading a massive 7989. The wind is a light ESE cross-off, keeping it perfect. If you’re an expert, this is the session. Tuesday the 7th stays big—11ft to 12ft—with cleaner SE winds in the morning.
Wednesday the 8th morning is pure glass: no wind, a light offshore breeze, and a 10ft WSW swell with a long period. The waves will have great shape, but expect a crowd. After that, the wind turns onshore Thursday and Friday, pushing conditions into the marginal zone through the weekend.
We get a breather from the 12th to the 14th of July with smaller, clean surf at 7ft to 8ft and consistent light offshore or glassy conditions. On Monday the 13th morning, it’s 8ft from the SW with a gentle offshore breeze—clean and fun for intermediates.
The second week gets wild. A huge 15ft pulse shows up on Thursday the 16th afternoon, but it’s from the NNW with a short 9-second period and a strong 28 mph cross-off wind. That combo of size and wind makes it more of a kite session than a paddle session. There’s more size at 11ft to 12ft on the 17th and 18th, but consistent onshore winds ruin it.
Best bet: the first week, with Monday the 6th being the absolute peak for the big-wave crew. The second week is big but blown out. Forecasts change, so keep watching the wind.
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.
