The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Spot X. This is a reef set-up, exposed to the swell, and it’s a very consistent wave. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
The first half of the window is a bit of a write-off for paddle surfing. A massive, long-period (18 seconds) groundswell from the WSW hits on Wednesday the 26th, pushing 15 feet. The combined energy is massive (13576), but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, making it choppy and blown out. This is big, powerful, and messy – more of a tow-in or kite session than a paddle spot. It stays big and lumpy through Thursday the 27th with a 13-foot SW swell and fresh cross-shore winds.
Friday the 28th sees the swell drop hard to 7 feet, but the cross-off wind from the SE keeps it clean. The energy is down (1361), but it’s a clean, manageable wave. However, it’s the weekend that starts to get interesting. Saturday morning the 29th is still a bit small at 6 feet, but by Saturday afternoon, the wind swings to a light offshore easterly and the swell pushes back up to 10 feet from the SW with a 17-second period. The energy jumps to 4644, and it’s clean.
Sunday the 30th is one of the true standouts. A 10-foot WSW groundswell with a 17-second period combines with a moderate offshore breeze from the NE in the morning. The energy is pumping (5582), and the conditions are described as exceptional for experienced surfers. This is a solid reef swell with clean, offshore lines. The afternoon turns glassy and light, but the wind goes cross-shore, so the morning is the pick.
The week starts to deteriorate on Monday the 31st with onshore winds and a messy 8-foot swell, and the following days from Tuesday the 1st of September through Thursday the 3rd are all onshore, with the swell bouncing between 10 feet and 13 feet. It’s all wind-blown.
The second week cleans up. Friday the 4th of September is small and marginal. But the big one to circle is Monday the 7th of September. An 12-foot SW groundswell with a 16-second period meets a gentle cross-off breeze in the morning, and then by the afternoon, it goes glassy. The energy is very strong (5773), and the conditions are called exceptional. Tuesday the 8th of September is also a major standout. The swell holds at 12 feet from the WSW with a 17-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NE all day. The energy is massive (7616), and it’s described as clean. This is a long-range call, but it looks promising for expert-level waves.
For the average punter, the 15-foot to 16-foot stuff on the 26th and 27th of August is too big and messy. The best bet is the clean 10-foot on Saturday the 29th afternoon, or the glassy 12-foot on Monday the 7th of September. The Tuesday the 8th of September session is for the experienced crew.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
