The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming in the next couple of weeks.
So, we've got a solid run of groundswell on the horizon, but the first few days are a total loss. The Saturday and Sunday are a big, onshore, wind-blown mess. The combined energy numbers are huge – up to 11,476 on Saturday afternoon – but it's all onshore junk, so don't even bother. There's a real gap of poor conditions until Monday the 20th, when things start to turn.
The standout window is shaping up to be the week of July 23rd through to the 30th, with a couple of real bombs. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is the call.
Thursday, July 23rd is a beauty. Spotx handles a WSW swell, and we've got an 8.2ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, which is proper groundswell. The wind is going ENE at 15 km/h, which is gentle offshore and clean. The combined energy is a solid 2,223 (moderate), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a proper session for the crew who know what they're doing. It's a reef break, and it's very consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes, so get there early.
Then, the real cherry on top is Thursday, July 30th. This is the one to circle. We have a 6.6ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a massive 20 seconds – that's a very long period groundswell. The wind goes glassy, WNW at 5 km/h, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is a strong 4,230 (strong). For a reef break, this long-period energy will produce some of the best, most powerful waves of the whole forecast. The description says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers" and it's a perfect 5 out of 10 in my book. It's a bit of a wait, but this one is worth marking on the calendar.
The week after that, into the start of August, the swell is still there but the winds get a bit more tricky, with a cross-onshore on Saturday morning. Keep an eye on it, but the 23rd and the 30th are the clear standouts.

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.
