The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Spot x.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of southwest groundswell on the horizon, but honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s gonna be a wild ride. The water is sitting at 67° – a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus if you're surfing without a wetsuit.
The first real chance to get wet looks like Wednesday afternoon, August 5th. The swell is a chunky 15 ft out of the WSW with a very long 16-second period, packing serious energy (10651). It’s a proper groundswell, but the wind is a cross-on from the NW at 9 mph, making it a bit choppy. It’s surfable, but far from perfect.
The next few days are pretty much a write-off. Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 10th, the wind is howling, and the swell is just too big for the setup here, with waves hitting 21 ft to 23 ft. Even though the direction is right, with winds hitting 28-31 mph, it’s just dangerous and messy. This is strictly for the kites, not for paddle surfing.
Now, let’s talk about the standout. After a week of chaos, things finally calm down on Wednesday morning, August 12th. We’ve got a 15 ft SW groundswell (15-second period, energy 8707) and the wind goes almost glassy, with a light offshore breeze from the north at only 3 mph. This is the window. The reef should be firing, with clean, lined-up sets. It’s still a big swell for the average punter, so this is one for the experts. The downside? It’s a spot that can get crowded, so expect some company in the water.
The next best chance rolls around on Thursday, August 20th. The morning looks outstanding a 15 ft WSW groundswell (17-second period, energy 11708) with a clean offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be a bit more particular and better for the reef, but the conditions should be pristine. This one’s a bit further out, so it’s a promising call, but keep an eye on it.
Honestly, the first week is a battle with the wind and size, but that Wednesday morning, August 12th, is the one to circle. The rest is a game of patience.

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.
