The Lowdown
Right, let’s break it down for Spot X. This is a reef break that can handle some size, but the next couple weeks are a mix of glassy gems and real slop.
It starts on Friday, August 21st, with a bang. A 12 ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period rolling in. The combined energy is at 4 862 – that’s some serious push. Overhead and punchy. The wind is glassy from the ENE in the morning, so these waves will be super clean. This is for experienced surfers only – no shame in staying on the beach. The water’s at 66°, a touch warmer than you’d expect for late August. By the afternoon, the wind goes SSW and cross-on, and it chops up quickly. Catch it early.
The next good look comes Monday, August 24th, morning. A 10 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and a light N cross-off breeze keeping things smooth. Energy’s still strong at 3 017. Another excellent session for the confident crew.
After that, the wind gets messy. From Monday afternoon right through the rest of the week, it’s either marginal or poor. Tuesday the 25th is lumpy with a NW cross-wind at 22 mph, and Wednesday the 26th sees the swell max out at 16 ft (energy 15 162) but with bad onshore wind – too wild and blown out for this spot.
A good window reopens Friday, August 28th, morning. A 8 ft SW swell with a clean cross-off SE breeze. Energy is moderate at 1 710. Then Saturday, August 29th, morning is a prime pick: 5 ft SW swell with a long 13-second period and glassy offshore NE wind at 9 mph. Energy is a moderate 1 580, and with offshore wind, that reef is going to set up perfectly. That’s your second-best window.
The final stretch from August 31st into September 5th is rough. Onshore wind, big lumpy swell, and energy readings over 5 000, even past 10 000. The waves are big, but the quality is zero – blown out and messy. This is kite-surfing country now, not paddle surfing.
Bottom line: you have four good morning sessions spread out over the next 10 days. The rest is a write-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.
