The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for The Box over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough run. The Box is an advanced reef and beach setup that's inconsistent at the best of times, and this 16-day window is looking mostly flat. The water is sitting at a very unusual 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
We kick off on Wednesday the 29th of July with absolutely nothing. Glassy conditions in the morning, but zero swell. That sets the tone for the next week, honestly. There's a long gap here with no real surf to speak of. We get a tiny pulse on Friday the 31st, with a 1ft swell from the SE at a weak 4-second period – combined energy is only 7, so it's barely a ripple. Winds are cross-shore, making it pretty average. The weekend and the start of the following week are a write-off, with nothing but flat, glassy conditions.
The only time we see a flicker of life is on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning brings a glassy start with a 2ft swell from the north, but it's short period stuff. The afternoon is the only real standout in the whole period. We get a 3ft swell from the NE, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the south at 19 mph. The combined energy hits 30, which is still weak but it's the best we'll see. The swell direction is ENE, which is close to the optimum for The Box.
Even then, it's small and inconsistent. For the experts who know this spot, that afternoon on the 11th could offer a few clean, workable waves if you're patient. Don't expect much else. The rest of the run is flat or has tiny, weak slop. For the last few days into the second week, we get some tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft pulses from the north and east, but nothing that'll get you out of bed.
Bottom line: one small window of opportunity for the dedicated crew on the 11th of August afternoon. Otherwise, it's a long, blank stretch.
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.
