The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a big, powerful swell rolling in but the wind is a real battle for the first few days. We’re looking at a solid reef break at Spot x, and it’s a very consistent spot, exposed to the swell. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
The first decent window starts to show on Friday afternoon, September 4th. The swell is a chunky 15ft out of the WSW with a 15-second period, putting a ton of energy into the water. The wind goes light onshore, making it marginal, but that’s a huge step up from the fresh cross-onshore junk we’ve been dealing with. It’s not perfect, but it’s a sign of life.
Sunday, September 6th, is a write-off with that cross-shore wind, but Monday the 7th sees a bit of a drop-off. The real standout is Tuesday, September 8th. And I mean *standout*. We’ve got a 13ft WSW swell, still cranking with a 17-second period (very long period groundswell), and the wind is pure glass or gentle cross-offshore. This is exceptional surf for experts. That reef is going to be reeling, with clean, lined-up waves. The only downside? This is a spot that can get crowded, so get there early.
Wednesday, September 9th, drops off a bit in size, with moderate cross-offshore winds. It’s clean, but not the same caliber.
The next big highlight is Wednesday, September 16th. The morning session is looking incredible. We’re back to a 13ft WSW swell, with an 18-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The wind is a moderate offshore from the NE. Again, this is exceptional for experts. Expect a heavy, powerful wave. The afternoon switches to a light onshore, so the morning is the golden window.
Late in the run, on September 18th, we see a smaller but still fun 7ft swell with clean conditions. It’s a good option for experienced surfers, but the real magic is definitely on the 8th and the morning of the 16th.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
