The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tayfor. Straight up, the next week and a half is a real struggle. The wind is playing games, coming in from the north and northeast, leaving everything cross-shore or cross-onshore. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 24°, but that’s about the only thing that’s on our side. The swell is small, weak, and short period, with the combined swell energy barely getting into triple figures (66 to 123). It’s not making for any kind of surfable wave. Just messy, choppy, and flat. Nothing to get excited about at all.
We finally see a bit of a pulse from the 26th of July onwards. The swell starts to build, with a 5ft to 6ft NNW swell rolling in, but it’s still a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs (271 to 369), but the wind remains a stubborn cross-shore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface blown out and rough. The reports are still calling it “poor surf conditions” or “marginal” at best. It’s frustrating, because the size is there, but the quality just isn’t.
The real interest kicks off from the 30th of July into the 1st of August. The swell picks up some serious muscle, with the combined energy hitting four-digit figures (504 to 855). The swell height pushes to 6ft, 7ft, and 7ft from the NNW and NW, with the period finally stretching out to 9 and 10 seconds. This is a significant groundswell. The light breeze on the morning of the 1st of August offers a window of cleaner conditions, making it the standout option. The 855 combined energy indicates strong wave energy. The wind is light and cross-shore, which will clean things up, but with the swell size over 7ft, it’s a day for the experienced crew only. The 10-second period will give decent shape, but it’s a big, powerful swell. Crowds are possible at Tayfor, so get in early.
The rest of the first week of August hangs on with a similar size, but the wind turns cross-onshore again in the afternoons, so keep your hopes on those early sessions.

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