The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for The Box.

Truth be told, it’s a tough stretch ahead. This is a break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and over the next 16 days, there’s just not much to get excited about. The Box (beach and reef) doesn’t see any real swell to speak of for the whole run. It’s a bit of a blank period, and for this area, that’s not all that unusual, so you don’t want to be holding your breath. That said, forecasts can change, and the breaks haven’t given up entirely – there are hints of tiny pulses, but nothing you’d paddle out for.

Starting from Wednesday the 26th of August right through to Saturday the 29th, it’s a dead loss – wave heights are barely a whisper at 0.3 ft, and the combined swell energy is sitting at 1 (weak). Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, keeping things clean, but with no swell to work with, it’s a flat spell. Sunday the 30th sees a tiny bump – 2 ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy creeps up to 26 (still weak), but it’s not enough to make waves a surfer would want. Monday and Tuesday stay flat or near-flat, and the wind is a mix of cross and onshore, keeping things messy.

The first hint of something slightly better shows up on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. The swell hits 2 ft from the ENE, period 6 seconds, and the combined energy moves to 39 (weak). Winds are light cross-shore from the north at 6 mph, so the surface stays pretty tidy. It’s small, small, small – but if you’re desperate and have a longboard, you might find a knee-high ripple. Thursday the 3rd of September morning is glassy – truly glassy – with some NNE wind at 3 mph, but the swell drops back to 1.0 ft from the NE, period 7 seconds, and combined energy is just 8 (weak). It’s pretty as a picture, but there’s nothing to surf.

The second week remains bleak. From Friday the 4th of September onward, the swell never tops 2 ft – and that’s only an ESE windswell with short period. Most days are flat or near-flat. The wind does blow cross-off or glassy at times, especially on the mornings of the 4th (clean, 0.3 ft from NE), the 5th (clean, 0.3 ft), and the 10th (glassy, 0.7 ft from E), but none of these carry enough energy to surf. The combined swell energy rarely breaks double digits.

If you’re looking for a standout, there isn’t one in this window. The only moment that comes close is Wednesday morning the 2nd of September – 2 ft ENE, light cross-shore, clean surface – but it’s a fraction of a wave. For experts, there’s nothing over 8 ft – far from it. For beginners, there’s nothing over 5 ft either. Honestly, with this setup, you’d be better off looking at the kite surfers if the wind picks up – but for a paddle surfer, I’d save the wax.

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.
