The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour, same story.
Spot X is a reef break, exposed to the WSW swell, very consistent. The 16-day run has a big, messy start, one standout day, and a cleaner but smaller second week.
Overall
First day, September 1st, has very strong energy (3079), but onshore winds trash it. Through the first week, it’s mostly blown out. The gem is Tuesday, September 8th: glassy, 13ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds—only for experts. Best on offer. After that, a gap of clean surf until September 14th. Second week has smaller, clean windows.
Day-by-Day
Tuesday, September 1st: 8ft from the WSW, 15-second period. Wind onshore. Very strong energy (3079). Messy, tricky. Over 5ft, so not for beginners.
Wednesday, September 2nd: 12ft, onshore wind, very strong energy (3843). Poor. Thursday and Friday get worse with 30-50 mph winds. Friday afternoon hits 18ft and 14802 energy—kite-surf stuff.
Saturday, September 5th: Near gale winds, 20ft. Only for the insane. Poor conditions through September 6-7th, though wind lightens. Monday morning has light breeze but 15ft—expert only.
Tuesday, September 8th – The Standout
Glassy, zero wind. 13ft SW groundswell, 16-second period. Exceptional for experts. Very strong energy (7570). Go early.
Wednesday, September 9th: 10-12ft, cleaner winds. Very strong energy (10346) with a 19-second period. Worth it for experts.
Thursday to Sunday, September 10-13th: Windy, surf drops from 12ft to 10ft, mostly choppy. Gap of clean waves.
Monday, September 14th – Second Week Highlight
Glassy morning, 7ft SW, 12-second period. Moderate energy (1337). Excellent for experienced surfers.
Tuesday, September 15th: Glassy morning, 8ft, 13-second period. Moderate energy (1933). Clean.
Wednesday, September 16th: Morning glass-off, light breeze. 8ft, 14-second period. Moderate energy (2046). Clean finish.
Crowds & Conditions
Crowds sometimes, especially on that September 8th standout. Water temp is average for this time of year.
Hit that Tuesday the 8th if you can handle it. Rusty out.

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.
