The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you. Lookin’ at the next 16 days for Tayfor, it’s a pretty grim run. The surf is there, sure, but the conditions are just fighting us every step of the way. We’re talking about a spot that’s exposed to the NW, and the wind is just never playing ball. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re getting frustrated.
The first week is a write-off. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Monday the 21st, it’s just poor surf conditions day after day. The swell is small, barely breaking 3ft, and the wind is a stubborn cross or cross-onshore, chopping everything up. The combined energy is weak, around 40 to 130 (weak to moderate energy), so there’s no power behind it either. It’s a long stretch of nothing.
Things get a little more interesting heading into the second week, but it’s still a tough sell. By Wednesday the 22nd, the swell starts to bump up, with the combined energy climbing into the 200s (moderate energy). The waves are around 4ft to 5ft from the NW, but the wind is still a cross-onshore, keeping it choppy. The forecast calls it “marginal” at best, and I’d be inclined to agree. It’s not total junk, but it’s a long way from good.
The one tiny glimmer comes on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. The swell builds to 5ft to 5ft, and the combined energy jumps into the 400s and 500s (strong energy). Sunday morning even shows a longer period of 11 seconds, which is a nice bit of groundswell. That longer period means better shaped waves, but it’s still a cross-shore wind. The morning of Sunday the 26th is the best on offer, with a light breeze keeping things a little less messy. It’s a 5ft NW swell with a 11-second period, and the energy is solid (515). But with the wind being cross-shore, it’s not the clean dream we’re looking for. Still, it’s the closest thing to a standout we’ve got.
For the rest of the run, it’s more of the same. Swell hangs around, but the wind keeps it from ever getting good. The waves are too small and chopped up for the first week, and the second week offers a chance for the more determined surfers, but only if you’re willing to work for it.
Rusty.

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.
