The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Tayfor for the next couple of weeks. It’s one of those patches where the ocean’s just not playing ball.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Tuesday the 18th of August onwards, it’s mostly poor surf. The swell is small, ranging from around 1 ft to about 5 ft, coming from the NNW or NW, but the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, chopping everything up. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, only hitting moderate (240) around the 22nd, but even then, the wind ruins it. There’s a big gap of days with no solid recommendations; it’s a real frustrating run.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. We get a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE, which cleans up the 4 ft NW swell. The wave comment says “clean,” which is a big deal given the rest of the forecast. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won’t have much push, but it’ll be the most rideable session in the whole outlook.
After that, it’s back to the struggle. The mornings of the 28th, 29th, and 30th of August see the swell bump up to around 5 ft to 6 ft, with moderate combined energy (300+), but the wind stays light cross or cross-on, and it’s all rated as marginal. Not worth setting your alarm for.
If you’re going to pick a moment, make it that Thursday morning, the 27th. Crowds at Tayfor are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but with the clean conditions, it’s the only bright spot.
It’s a tough outlook, but this area can turn around quickly. Don’t write it off just yet.

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.
