The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked at the charts for The Box, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’re staring down a long, dry 16-day window with no real surf to get excited about.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a week of nothing. Starting Wednesday, September 2nd, the swell is barely a whisper. A tiny 1ft from the northeast with a 4-second period and a weak energy reading of just (3) – that’s not going to push a leaf, let alone a surfer. The wind is a messy cross-shore, and the water is a warm 79°F, which is about a degree above average for this time of year, but there’s no wave to enjoy it in.
The whole first week is a write-off. We see a few glassy mornings on the 6th and 8th, but with zero swell on the charts, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. Thursday the 10th gives us a tiny pulse – 1ft from the northeast, period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of just (18). That’s still weak, and the cross-shore wind won’t do it any favours. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. There’s a slight uptick on the 16th of September, with a 2ft northeast swell and a 6-second period, giving us a combined energy of (29). The wind is a clean cross-off in the morning, which is the best we’ll see. But 2ft is ankle-snappers, and the period is short. It’s the only period in the entire 16 days that even registers a pulse, but it’s still a poor surf call.
The Box is an advanced, inconsistent spot that rarely turns on, and this forecast proves it. With the swell being this tiny and the wind being all over the place, it’s honestly more of a kiteboarding setup than a paddle surfing one. We’ve got a solid 16-day gap with no real recommendations. It’s a classic blank run for this area, and forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.
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.
