The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Spot X, a solid reef set-up. It’s been pumping with a real strong, long-period WSW groundswell, but the wind's been a menace. The first good look we get is Tuesday afternoon, August 4th. We're looking at a serious 12 ft swell, but it's a tough one to start – the wind is honking onshore at 16 mph and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 67°F, making things choppy and messy. Not a pretty picture.
Wednesday (August 5th) is where we see a real change. The swell jumps up to a meaty 15 ft from the WSW, and the energy in the water is massive – we're talking combined energy around 10,000 (10,240). The morning is still a bit messy with onshore wind, but look at that Wednesday afternoon. The wind drops to a light 6 mph, which gives us light cross-onshore conditions. The wave combo says it's marginal, but with that much power and a light wind creating just small ripples, this is the standout. It's big, expert-only stuff at over 8 ft, but for those who can handle it, the shapes will be there with that 16-second period.
Thursday (August 6th) turns ugly again. The swell holds at 13 ft, but a fresh cross-shore wind kicks up a lumpy chop. By the afternoon, it's a full onshore blowout. This kicks off a proper rough patch. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the second week, the forecast is mostly poor surf conditions due to relentless onshore winds. The swell stays solid, often 13 ft to 16 ft, but the wind is cross-on or straight onshore at 16-28 mph, just destroying it. There’s a huge spike on Saturday, August 8th, with a monster 21 ft to 23 ft SW swell (combined energy hitting 45,869!), but it’s accompanied by a strong cross-onshore breeze, making it dangerous and blown-out—way too big and messy for a paddle.
The only other flicker of hope is Wednesday August 12th morning, where the swell drops back to 12 ft and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, but it's still choppy. Then Saturday, August 15th afternoon shows an 18 ft swell with moderate cross-onshore conditions, but again, it's way too big for most at over 8 ft. This break is fairly consistent, but the wind just won't play ball. The standout is, without a doubt, Wednesday afternoon, August 5th – that's your window for a couple of clean, heavy bombs.
Stay safe out there.

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.
