Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spot x over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the pipe.
We’ve got a solid, consistent swell rolling in for the start of the week, but plenty of wind and weather to work around after that. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year – no surprises there. The real standout session looks like Tuesday.
Monday, July 13th, is a write-off for clean waves. We’ve got a 12ft SW swell pushing in with a very long 16-second period and massive energy (6285), but the wind is cross-onshore and light. The wave comment says it’s marginal – you’d be fighting a bit of bump. Not the one.
Tuesday, July 14th, is where it’s at. Morning sees a clean 10ft SW swell (15-second period), but the magic is the offshore NE wind at 9 mph. That’ll have Spotx (reef) looking glassy. The combined energy is still strong (3813), and with that offshore wind, it’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers. This is the highlight of the whole outlook. The afternoon holds, too, with cleaner conditions and lighter offshore wind. Get out there early.
Wednesday, July 15th, is a step down. Swell sticks around at 8-8ft, but the wind swings to a strong cross-offshore from the north at 22-25 mph. It’ll be clean enough but pretty gnarly and blown-out feeling. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
From Thursday, July 16th, through to nearly the end of the month, it turns poor. Onshore winds, rain, and even thunderstorms kick in. Swell hangs around above 8ft at times – even hitting 18ft on Saturday, July 18th – but with strong cross-onshore winds and messy conditions, it’s a no-go. There’s a long stretch of poor surf here, lasting from Thursday right through to around Saturday, July 25th.
Towards the very end of the outlook, Saturday, July 25th, shows a possible glimmer. We’ve got a 10ft SW swell with a 13-second period and onshore wind from the SW at 9 mph. The comment calls it marginal – not terrible, but not great. After that, it’s back to choppy and cross-onshore through Sunday and Monday.
So, to sum it up: Tuesday, July 14th, is your best bet – clean, offshore, solid swell. After that, it’s mostly a waiting game.
Stay stoked,
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.
