Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, folks. Looking at The Box for the next couple of weeks, it’s a desert out there. This is a spot that needs a real kick from the ENE to get going, and we just aren't seeing it. The water’s a touch warmer than usual at 79°, but that’s the only highlight.
Starting on Wednesday the 8th and through Thursday the 9th, there’s absolutely no swell. Not a ripple. The wind is clean, a light offshore in the mornings, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to surf. That carries on right through Friday the 10th with a glassy morning but zero waves.
We finally see the ghost of a swell show up on Saturday the 11th. It’s a pathetic 1ft wave from the NNW with a period of only 2 seconds. The combined energy is basically nothing (1). With a moderate cross-shore wind blowing, it’s just not worth the effort. The rest of that weekend and the following week is the same old story. We get scraps – 1ft to 2ft waves – but the period is always short, under 8 seconds, and the energy readings are tiny, like (6) or (19). The wind is either cross or cross-on, so it’s bumpy and messy on top of being tiny.
There’s a little blip of energy on Tuesday the 14th afternoon with a 2ft ESE swell and a 5-second period giving us an energy reading of (19), but with a light cross-onshore wind, it’s still poor. Honestly, this whole stretch is a bust. There’s no standout session. The swell never tops 2ft, and the periods are too short to hold any power. The break is inconsistent by nature, and right now it’s barely even breaking. The setup is so weak for so long that it looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if they can find a gust. The second week, from the 16th onward, is just more of the same—tiny, weak, and unattractive. By the 21st of July we get a strong 18 mph cross-offshore wind from the WNW, but still no swell to go with it. A run this empty is just how it goes here sometimes; the spot just can’t catch the swells that are out there.

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.
