The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s happening at The Box.
Straight up, it’s going to be a long, quiet stretch. The Box is a beach and reef set-up that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and for the first nine days of the 16-day window, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid gap from the start of the period right through to the morning of Saturday the 10th of August. The swell energy is tiny, often at zero, and when there is a little pulse, it’s coming from the ESE or NE with periods of only 3 to 6 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell, not the kind of stuff that wraps in cleanly. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the water’s running about 28°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Saturday the 10th of August. The swell bumps up to 0.7m from the NE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 61 (moderate). The wind is from the NW at 15 km/h, which is cross-offshore, keeping conditions clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about – just ordinary. The Box is an advanced spot, and it’s inconsistent, so even this little window is a bit of a gamble. Crowds are possible here, but with such small waves, it’s likely quiet.
After that, Monday the 12th of August morning looks glassy with a tiny 0.1m swell, but it’s just not enough. Then, on the last day of the window, Sunday the 16th of August morning, we get another shot: 0.4m from the NE at 7 seconds, combined energy of 16 (weak), but the wind is WSW at 5 km/h and glassy. That’s the cleanest moment of the whole period. The Box rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s for the experienced crew.
If you’re a kiter, the onshore/ cross-onshore days later in the period might look more interesting than anything for a paddle surfer. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.

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.
