The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down what we've got coming for the next two weeks.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the first week and a half is a write-off for any sort of decent surf. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions with small, weak NW swells and the wind is just a mess. It's mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore, and every session is a battle against chop and poor shape. Don't bother getting your hopes up until we get into the tail end of the second week.
The one and only highlight that might save the forecast is Saturday, August 22nd. The morning at Tayfor is your best bet. The swell jumps up to about 6 ft from the NW, and the combined energy is a whopping 572, so there's some real power in the water. The wind is a light breeze from the NNE, giving us a cross-shore flow. It's still a "marginal" call, and by the afternoon a moderate breeze will start to mess it up, but that morning window is the cleanest we'll see. For a 6ft swell, a light cross-shore is a solid trade-off.
Water temperature is sitting right around average for the season, nothing wild.
After that Saturday, it goes back to being a bit of a letdown. Mornings on the 25th and 26th have some size, around 5 ft, but it's all cross-onshore and choppy. The energy is still there, but the wind is the enemy. If we get lucky and the wind lays down, it could be a different story, but for now, you want to be in the water on that Saturday the 22nd. As always, forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
