Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tennis Courts over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell you about the only spot worth talking about for the next couple of weeks: Tennis Courts.
Right out of the gate, mate, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell starting now. The first real chance of getting wet doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 12th of July. Before that, it’s just poor conditions and a bit of a wait. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, for the advanced crew, Tennis Courts is your only real option. It’s a fairly consistent reef break that’s exposed to the swell, but the wind is a problem. We’ve got a persistent cross-offshore breeze from the ENE that’s just going to mess with the face all day, every day. The swell direction is also coming from the ENE, which isn’t its optimum.
Let’s talk about the one small window that might be worth a look. Around Sunday morning, the 13th of July, we see the swell drop a touch to 6 ft with an 8-second period, and the wind eases back to a moderate 19 mph cross-off. The wave energy is still pretty moderate at 607 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s messy, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. The afternoon looks similar, still marginal. This same sort of 5 ft to 6 ft ENE windswell hangs around through Tuesday morning, but it’s never really good.
Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of July, we get a tiny bit of relief as a 2 ft SW swell with a longer 14-second period shows up, but the energy is weak (280) and the wind is still ruining it. The rest of the week into the next just looks like more of the same: strong onshore breezes and poor surf quality. We’ve got a massive gap with nothing recommended.
Honestly, if you’re not an advanced surfer, don’t bother. The swell is only over 7 ft on a couple of days (Saturday afternoon the 12th and Saturday afternoon the 19th), but with the strong winds and cross-off direction, it’s not going to be fun for anyone. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during those stronger wind days. For the rest of us, it’s a long wait for a clean wave here.

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