The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at The Box, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough one. This is a spot that’s inconsistent and only for the advanced crew when it does fire, but the next two weeks are looking like a real bust. There’s a big gap of nothing happening, so don’t be in a rush.
We kick off on Tuesday the 28th of July with a tiny bit of swell, only 1.3ft from the SE with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 9, so the ocean is flat as a pancake. The wind is a cross-off early, but it’s just not enough to do anything with.
From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August, it’s essentially a write-off. We’re talking nearly two weeks of zeros in the energy department. The waves just aren’t there. The winds are all over the place – glassy mornings, cross-shore afternoons – but with no swell to work with, it’s a lake. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so your wetsuit is just for sitting around.
Now, on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August, we finally see a flicker of life. The Box cleans up with a light cross-off breeze from the NW, and we get a 2.3ft swell from the NE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 75, which is weak but at least it’s moving. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” and only rates it a 1 out of 10. For a spot this inconsistent, it’s a glimmer of hope, but don’t expect anything special. It’s just not worth the drive for this one, folks. The box is staying shut for a while.

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.
