The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a massive, powerful groundswell pumping in from the WSW for Spot x, and it’s going to be a wild ride. This is a reef break that is very consistent and exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might ditch the booties.
The week kicks off on Wednesday, August 19th, with a solid 15 ft swell, but the wind is howling onshore from the WSW. The combined energy is massive at 8648, so it’s a powerful, messy ocean. Not really a paddle session, honestly – this looks more like a kite-surfing setup.
The real standout here is Friday morning, August 21st. You’ve got a 12 ft WSW swell, but the wind is glassy – dead calm from the NE. For a reef break, that is a dream. The period is 14 seconds, a proper groundswell, but at this size, it’s only for experts. It will be clean and powerful, but you need to know what you’re doing. That is the best the forecast offers.
Thursday morning, August 27th is another one to circle. The swell drops a touch to 12 ft from the SW, but the wind is clean cross-off from the East. At 8980 energy, it’s still pumping and clean. Good for experienced surfers.
Later in the run, Sunday afternoon, August 30th gets an exceptional call for experts. 10 ft of WSW swell, 18-second period – that is very long period energy, so it will really stand up on the reef. The wind is light and cross-off from the NNE, keeping it clean. Crowds are possible at this spot, so expect company if you paddle out.
Be warned: late August and early September have some grim days. Big winds and onshores trash the quality. Tuesday, August 25th is a write-off with 19 mph onshore winds. Wednesday, September 3rd is another lumpy, choppy mess with 15 ft and cross-on winds. Not for the faint-hearted.
So, if you’re an expert, the glassy Friday the 21st and the long-period Sunday the 30th are your windows. Everyone else should pick the cleaner days around the 27th. Stay safe.
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.
