The Lowdown
Alright, let’s chew on what’s coming for Spot x. This is a solid reef set-up that’s exposed to the swell, so it can handle some size, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
The next few days are a mixed bag, but there’s a real standout on Thursday the 13th. Wednesday the 12th is a write-off with strong onshore winds and a messy 13-foot SW swell – the energy is huge (6494) but the quality just isn’t there. Thursday morning the 13th is where it’s at: glassy offshore winds from the NNW, a 13-foot SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 7783. Conditions are exceptional for expert surfers, but at this size, it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The afternoon stays clean but picks up a light cross-onshore breeze.
Friday the 14th still has some juice with an 12-foot SW swell and 16-second period, and morning offshore winds from the NE keep it clean. The energy is still strong (5788), but it’s a notch down from Thursday. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are smaller but rideable, with 8-foot to 10-foot WSW swell and cross-off winds, though the period drops to 13-14 seconds. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
Then we hit a rough patch. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are blown out by strong onshore winds, and the swell is big and messy. Wednesday the 19th sees a massive 18-foot WSW swell with 15-16 second period, but the wind is howling onshore – this is more of a kite-surfing scene than a surf session. From Thursday the 20th, things start to clean up again with a 15-foot WSW swell and cross-off winds from the NE, but the week after that is a mixed bag of onshore winds and poor conditions until the 26th and 27th of August, where we see a late pulse of 15-foot to 13-foot SW swell with clean offshore winds.
The real standout is without a doubt Thursday the 13th – that glassy morning with the long period groundswell is the pick of the forecast. If you’re an expert, don’t miss it. For the rest, keep an eye on the 20th and the 26th as promising, but less certain.

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.
