The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—this outlook for The Box is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window starting now, and honestly, there's almost nothing worth paddling out for. The Box is an advanced, inconsistent beach-and-reef setup that needs a decent ENE swell to light up, but we're not getting that. The first few days are a total write-off: tiny 0.3ft swells, cross-chop, and barely a ripple. Then we hit a dry spell from around July 21 through July 29—days on end with zero swell, just flat or near-flat conditions. The water's running warm, about 81°F, which is 4°F above normal for this time of year—that's notably warmer than usual.
The only glimmer comes on Thursday, July 30, in the morning. A 4ft NE swell creeps in, period around 7 seconds, and the wind goes glassy—WNW at 3 mph. Combined energy sits at 113, which is moderate, but the period's short, so the waves won't have much push. The conditions are just "surfable but very ordinary," nothing to get excited about. After that, it's back to tiny slop and onshore junk. If you're a kite surfer, the occasional stronger cross-off breeze might be worth a look, but for paddle surfing, this stretch is a dud. The Box rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. Hang tight—forecasts can change, but right now, there's no standout. Keep your wax in the shade.
Rusty.

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