Table Rock Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here.

Look, I've gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Table Rock is a bit of a struggle. We're looking at a long, quiet run with only tiny, weak waves pushing through. The combined swell energy barely cracks double-digits most days, sitting between 12 and 76 (and that's the highest it gets). The swell is tiny, around 0.3ft to 3ft, and mostly from the NE, which is a cross-shore angle for this reef. The whole thing is a bit of a blank run, which isn't that unusual for this area when the swell windows aren't lining up.

The first real chance to even think about getting wet is Friday morning, July 17th. There's a faint pulse of 1ft NE swell with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is glassy from the N though, so the surface will be clean. It's a 0 out of 10 though, mate. Honestly, the wave energy is just too weak (23) to do much on a reef break.

The next week is more of the same. Saturday the 18th through to Thursday the 24th is all tiny, weak swell with periods under 9 seconds, and the energy never gets above 76. There are a few glassy periods on the 22nd and 23rd with NNW and N winds, but the swell is still only 1ft to 2ft. It's a tease.

Moving into the second week, from Friday the 25th of July to Saturday the 1st of August, it's the same story. A few mornings with clean conditions due to light offshore or cross-off winds, like the 25th and 27th, but the swell is still small, ranging from 0.7ft to 3ft, with poor energy levels. The biggest energy reading of the whole period hits 68 on the afternoon of the 30th of July, with a 3ft swell from the NE at 6 seconds. That's about as good as it gets, but it's still a very marginal wave for a reef.

Forget about any standout sessions. The best you could hope for is a very small, clean wave on a glassy morning, but it's not going to be worth making a special trip for. For now, the board stays in the car.

Rusty.
