The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Spot X. It’s a reef break, exposed to the swell, and it needs a clean window to work its magic. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a waiting game. The first real chance to paddle out comes on Sunday, the 30th of August. The morning is the standout. We’ve got a solid 10ft WSW groundswell rolling in with a 17-second period – that’s proper long-period energy, the kind that draws up nice lines. The wind is offshore from the NE at 12 mph, keeping it clean. The combined energy is a very strong 6043, so there’s a lot of power in the water. This is only for experienced surfers though; at this size and with that period, it’s heavy and it’s going to be closing out if you’re not on the right take-off spot. The afternoon turns cross-shore, so the window is really that morning.
Sunday, the 30th, is the best on offer in the first week. After that, things get messy. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are blown out with strong cross-on and onshore winds, and the swell is still big. By Wednesday the 2nd, the wind is onshore again, making it lumpy. The whole first week is a write-off after that Sunday morning.
Now, looking into the second week, there’s a glimmer way out. It’s a bit of a gamble, but Thursday the 10th of September is looking like the real standout of the whole forecast. The morning has a 15ft WSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s a monster groundswell, very long period. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the N at 9 mph, which is about as clean as it gets for this spot. The combined energy is a massive 11328. This is serious, expert-only territory. It’s going to be a freight train. If you’re charging, that’s your morning.
The end of the run is also interesting. Monday the 14th of September has a massive 21ft W swell with a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-offshore and clean. The energy is a staggering 13863. The caveat here is that the forecast says it might be too big for this break, even for the experienced crew. It’s a wildcard, but if the banks hold, it could be a day of a lifetime for the brave.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a one-morning show on Sunday the 30th. The second week has the real potential for something epic on Thursday the 10th, and a wild, possibly too-big session on Monday the 14th. Keep an eye on the Thursday – that’s the one.

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.
