The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s check out what’s cooking for Spot x (Spot x) at the reef. This is a reef break that’s very consistent and open to the swell, loving a WSW direction. The water temp is about 65°F right now, which is roughly 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – so it’s a bit toastier than normal.
First real action kicks off September 4th, Friday afternoon. There’s a big 16ft swell rumbling in from the WSW with a 14-second period, and the energy is strong at 9532. Problem is the wind is onshore from the SW at 12 mph, so it’ll be choppy. Not a standout.
Saturday the 5th is a washout – both sessions have cross-shore and cross-onshore winds over 12 mph, lumpy and poor. Sunday the 6th is the same story with fresh cross-shore wind and messy surf.
Monday the 7th morning shows some hope: a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph, with an 12ft WSW swell at 16 seconds. The wave energy is strong at 6307. That long period means it’s a groundswell with proper shape, but it might wrap a bit straight on the reef. Still, it’s clean. Monday afternoon gets lumpy again.
Now, Tuesday the 8th morning is looking good: 13ft from the WSW, 16-second period, and cross-offshore wind from the SE at 12 mph. Energy is very strong at 7148. But Tuesday afternoon is the gem – glassy conditions with a 3 mph SSE breeze, 12ft WSW swell at 16 seconds, and 6917 energy. Glassy, clean, and pumping for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Wednesday the 9th morning has a fresh offshore from the ENE at 19 mph, 10ft WSW swell at 15 seconds – clean but windy. Wednesday afternoon is lighter with a NE offshore at 6 mph, same swell, excellent for experienced surfers.
The 10th into the 11th drops off – 6ft to 8ft – clean but nothing wild. The 12th and 13th are total losses with onshore winds and lumpy junk.
Then Monday the 14th of September morning – this is the big one. An 18ft WSW swell at 13 seconds, energy of 9425, with a gentle offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. This is exceptional for expert surfers – huge, clean, and powerful. The 18ft is well over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the pros. Crowds are possible, but the size will thin things out.
The 16th of September Wednesday morning has a 5ft SW swell at 17 seconds – very long period, clean but small. Wednesday afternoon jumps to 10ft from the WSW at 16 seconds with a gentle offshore from the NE at 9 mph. Excellent for experienced surfers.
The 17th morning brings a 15ft SW swell at 13 seconds with fresh cross-offshore wind, but it’s marginal. The 18th and 19th are all onshore and lumpy again.
So, the true standouts are Tuesday afternoon the 8th of September – glassy, 12ft, and clean – and Monday morning the 14th of September – 18ft with offshore winds, a heavy-hitter for experts only. There’s a gap of poor surf from the 12th to the 13th, then again after the 14th into the 19th. Circle that Tuesday the 8th.
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.
