The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's going on at Spot X. We've got a reef break that's exposed to the swell, and it's very consistent, which is a good start. Water temp is sitting at about 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The next couple of days are the clear standouts. Tuesday morning, July 14th, we're looking at a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy is strong at (3813). The wind is light and offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean and glassy. This is top-shelf stuff for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds similar quality, with 10ft SW swell and 14-second period, still with that clean offshore breeze. The energy drops a touch to (3326), but it’s still a ripper afternoon.
Wednesday the 15th gets more challenging. The swell is still decent at 7ft to 8ft from the SW, but the wind swings around to a strong cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, gusting up to 25 mph. It’ll be clean but bumpy, and the quality drops off. Thursday the 16th is a write-off with onshore winds making a mess of things.
We then hit a long stretch of poor conditions. From Friday the 17th right through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, it’s a mix of onshore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. Swell sizes jump around, with a big pulse of 18ft WSW swell on Saturday morning, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it unsurfable. The energy on that one is massive at (8770). For a reef break, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This rough patch lasts about a week.
Things start to look promising again on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The swell drops to a much more manageable 6ft from the SSW, with a 12-second period and only light NNE cross-offshore winds. Energy is moderate (1738). It’ll be clean. The afternoon is even better with 7ft from the west, a 13-second period, and glassy conditions. That's a serious good wave window.
Sunday the 26th offers average waves, with 8ft to 8ft from the west and moderate winds. Not a standout. The following week, starting Monday July 27th, the swell stays up but the period drops off, with strong cross-shore winds making it messy. Don't get too excited.
Tuesday the 28th has bigger 13ft to 15ft SW swell, but with a short period and cross-shore winds, it’s not going to be pretty. For the best of the second week, keep your eyes on Wednesday morning, July 29th. We've got a clean 12ft SW groundswell with a 12-second period, light offshore winds from the east, and strong energy (4625). That's the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a longer-range call, so be ready for it.
Stay safe out there. - 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.
