The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days at The Box are a tough watch. We’re looking at a real dry spell for any kind of proper surf. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak, and often messy conditions on the cards. There’s a long gap with no real recommendations.
The first spot of any note doesn’t come until Saturday the 12th of September, and even then, it’s marginal. Saturday morning shows a modest bump in swell to 4ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds, producing combined wave energy of (134). That’s something, but it’s not magic. The wind is a cross-off from the NW, which should keep the surface reasonably clean. However, The Box is an advanced, inconsistent spot that rarely works well. With that short period, it’s going to be a bit crumbly and fat. It’s really only for the experts who know the bank.
Sunday the 13th offers a bit more consistency from the NE, but it’s smaller at 2ft in the morning with a light NNW cross-shore – just a bit of chop on it. The energy drops right back after that, and the following week is plagued by onshores, thunderstorms, and tiny dribble.
Honestly, Saturday the 12th is the only day that might get your toes wet. Even then, it’s a long shot. For the rest of the window, leave the boards in the car. This setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle.
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.
