The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk waves for the next couple of weeks in imperial.
It’s a slow start. Thursday through Saturday we’ve got chest-to-head-high surf (11 to 13 ft), but the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore, turning it all into a washing machine. Don’t even bother. There’s a solid four or five-day dry spell before things come together.
The absolute highlight, the session you want to plan for, is Tuesday, September 8th in the afternoon. We’re looking at a clean 13 ft swell from the SW with a 17-second period – that’s deep ocean energy (8914) that’s going to stack up nicely. What makes it a dream is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions out of the NW. For a reef break like Spot X, this long-period groundswell is going to produce perfectly shaped, powerful, long rides. It will be firing and super clean, but at over 8 ft, this is expert territory only.
The morning of that same day (September 8th) is also a winner. Same 13 ft swell (WSW), backed by a cross-offshore breeze that’s cleaning up the surface for a solid, rippable session.
The next morning, Wednesday, September 9th, the swell drops to 10 ft from the WSW. An offshore breeze from the NE will keep the surface smooth. It’s smaller, but well-formed and not as tricky.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, September 15th, there is another strong contender. The morning session has a clean 11 ft swell from the SW with the faintest offshore wind (5 mph from the North). The energy is solid, and those conditions should give you glassy, lined-up walls again. This is a good bet for experienced surfers.
The rest of the second week is mostly onshore slop, so the real money is on that Tuesday and Thursday window.
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.
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.
