Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Box over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for The Box over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’re staring down a long, flat spell from now all the way through to the 20th of July. There’s barely a ripple to get excited about, with the combined swell energy sitting in the single digits or low double digits (best is 33), and waves mostly under 3 ft. It’s going to be a frustrating wait, with mostly cross-shore or cross-on winds mucking up what little movement there is. The water temp is 79°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle will be comfortable.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Monday, the 21st of July. We get a pulse of 4 ft swell from the east with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 111 (moderate). It’s not perfect though – the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s something. The Box is an advanced, inconsistent spot that’s fairly exposed to the east-northeast, and this swell direction is almost right on its optimum. With crowds just sometimes, you might get a few clean ones if you’re patient.
The standout in this gloomy window, if you can call it that, is the morning of Wednesday, the 22nd of July. We’ve got glassy conditions – that’s a major positive – with a light offshore from the WSW and a small 1.0 ft swell from the northeast. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit more structured than the junk before it. With the combined energy at just 10 and the size tiny, it’s not going to be pumping, but for a clean, uncrowded session on a rare-breaking wave, this is your best bet. Keep your expectations in check.
After that, we see a slight uptick on Thursday, the 23rd of July afternoon, with a 5 ft swell from the northeast (124 combined energy), but it’s coming in with a cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be choppy and messy. The end of the outlook on Friday, the 24th of July, shows a 3 ft swell from the northeast with a longer 8-second period and 134 combined energy, but again, the wind is cross-shore or cross-on, so the quality won’t be there for a wave that’s already inconsistent.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a proper surf, the pickings are slim. The Box is a fickle wave, and this forecast is a classic example of why. The glassy morning on the 22nd is the only real window for a clean, if tiny, wave. The bigger pulses later in the week will have energy, but the wind will trash them. For a beach-and-reef setup like this with those conditions, you might be better off looking at kite surfing than paddling out.

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.
