The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough watch. The forecast is a long grind of poor conditions, with consistent cross and cross-onshore winds messing up the surface on most days. There’s a little bump in size around the second weekend, but it’s not the kind of clean, organized swell you want to get excited about. For the most part, this is a stretch where you’ll be checking the cam and turning the car around.
The first hint of something rideable shows up on Friday, 7th August, at Tayfor. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 7 seconds and moderate wave energy (210). The wind is a light cross-shore, but the surf is still rated as marginal. The swell direction (NNW) is a bit off the optimum of NW, so it’s not going to be firing on all cylinders. It’s a fair-weather option if you’re desperate, but not a standout.
The real size bump, and the only one that’s worth a closer look, is on Saturday, 15th August. The morning at Tayfor sees the swell jump to 6ft from the NW, with an 8-second period and strong wave energy (381). That’s a decent amount of water moving. The wind is a light, gentle cross-shore, which is better than it has been, but it’s still listed as marginal. For an intermediate surfer, this is the best window in the whole outlook. The NW direction is a perfect match for the optimum, so it should at least have some push. But with the swell over 5ft, it’s a little too much for beginners to be comfortable.
The afternoon of the 15th and the morning of Sunday, 16th August, keep the size around 6ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore, chopping it up. The same goes for the morning of Monday, 17th August, with 5ft from the NW, but again, that cross-onshore wind kills the quality.
So, the only true standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday morning, 15th August. The swell is there, the wind is light and cross-shore, and the direction is right. It’s a window of opportunity, not a classic. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a lot of small, wind-affected surf with poor conditions. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Rusty.

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.
