The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's talk about Tandjungs-Rights. This is a solid reef break that's very consistent and takes a fair bit of swell, so it's often your best bet when other spots are struggling. The water's sitting at about 79°F, right about average for this time of year, so the temp is fine.
Honestly, the next week or so is a bit of a slog. The swell sticks around, but the wind is relentless—constant cross-onshore breeze keeps the surface choppy and messy. You can paddle out, but it's not what you'd call good. The waves are mostly in the 4ft to 8ft range with a great long-period groundswell from the SSW, pushing a heap of energy through—you'll see combined energy readings in the thousands, like 1861 and 3073 (moderate to strong). But that all gets undone by the chop.
From Monday the 17th onwards, it's a whole lot of "marginal" calls. Tuesday the 18th has a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, but that 15 km/h cross-on wind just ruins it. Wednesday the 19th sees the swell build to 7ft and 8ft, period hitting 17-18 seconds, and the energy jumps to 3562 (strong). Still, that cross-on breeze is there. Even on Thursday the 20th morning, when the wind drops to a light 10 km/h, the report still calls it marginal—it's just not coming together.
This pattern of good swell and poor wind holds all the way through to the end of August. Saturday the 22nd has a 25 km/h breeze, so that's a write-off. It's not until Sunday the 30th that we see a glimmer. The swell holds at 6ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the wind drops to a light 10 km/h from the SSE, still cross-on but much lighter. The energy sits at 1763 (moderate). It's still a marginal call, but it's the best morning of the fortnight so far.
Now, if you want the standout, keep your eyes on Monday the 31st of August. That's the one. The morning kicks off with a 5ft SSW groundswell riding a super long 21-second period. The combined energy is 2878 (strong), and the wind is a 15 km/h SE cross-on. But get this—the afternoon is where it gets interesting. The swell jumps to 7ft, the period holds at 20 seconds, and the combined energy rockets to 4225 (strong to very strong). The wind picks up to 20 km/h, sure, but for a reef break like Tandjungs-Rights, that long-period groundswell is pure gold. It'll wrap in cleanly with proper shape and power. The crowds here are only "sometimes" an issue, so you might have a bit of company, but for a wave this good, it's worth it. This is your best bet, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
After that, Tuesday the 1st of September still has size at 8ft, but the wind is back up and the quality drops again. It's a bit of a shame.
So, to sum it up: most of the next two weeks is a waiting game. The swell is there, but the wind is the enemy. Don't bother paddling out in the constant chop unless you're desperate. The one true window is the afternoon of Monday the 31st—that's the day to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tandjungs-Rights 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.
