The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get real about T Street. This break is a consistent, exposed beach-and-reef spot that’s usually a beginner-friendly zone, but we’re staring down a long flat spell at the start. The first few days are all weak, choppy slop with cross-onshore winds and energy readings in the low hundreds (269 down to 209). Not worth getting wet for.

Things start to stir around Saturday the 18th. The swell picks up to 0.8m from the SSW, and the energy jumps to 446. Still small, but the wind goes light and onshore, so it’s cleaning up. The real shift comes on Sunday the 19th, with a 1.3m south swell, 12-second period, and energy hitting 863. That’s moderate energy, and the light onshore wind means better shape. Still small, but it’s a sign of what’s coming.

The standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell hits 1.4m in the morning, bumping to 1.6m in the afternoon, with a long 15-16 second period from the south. The energy readings are huge – 1392 and 1507 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is light and cross-onshore, but manageable. This is the best day of the whole window. It’s not too big for an intermediate surfer, but the long period makes it punchy, and it might be a bit much for beginners at 1.6m. The south swell is a good fit for the break’s optimum SW direction, and the consistency means plenty of waves. Just know that T Street is sometimes crowded, so you won’t be alone.

After that, Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th bring the biggest swell of the period – 2.1m to 2.2m on Thursday, and 1.9m on Friday. The energy readings are massive: 2116 on Thursday and 1515 on Friday. This is expert-only territory. The period is 13-14 seconds from the south, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be raw and a bit lumpy. For a beach-and-reef setup, that long-period swell can break a bit straight, so you’ll need to be on your game. Honestly, for those days, with that much swell and cross-onshore wind, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle-friendly one.

The last few days of the month drop back to 0.7m to 1.1m, with energy falling to the 400-900 range. The wind stays light and mostly onshore, so it’ll be clean enough for a small-wave session, but nothing special.

So, the bottom line: the first week is a bust. The best surf is on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with a solid 1.4m to 1.6m south groundswell and light wind. If you’re an expert, the big, raw swell on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th is worth a look, but be ready for a crowd and a bit of chop. The rest is small and marginal.

Information about the T Street Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for T Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at T Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our T Street 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 (T Street) 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 T Street 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.
