The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – The Box is looking like a total dud for the next couple of weeks. This spot is advanced, inconsistent, and sometimes draws a crowd, but honestly, you won’t need to worry about company because there’s hardly any swell. The water temperature right now is sitting at 80.6°F, which is a solid 4.5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s pretty unusual.
The first few days, from July 14 right through to July 25, are essentially flat or just junk. You’ve got tiny slop from the east, wind mostly cross or onshore, and nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a 12-day dry spell – pretty brutal.
Then on the morning of Sunday, July 26, we finally get a tiny glimmer. The swell bumps to 2.6 ft from the NE, period a short 6 seconds, and the combined energy is only 63 – weak stuff. But the wind goes glassy, which is a massive plus. The waves will be clean, but they’re small and ordinary. It’s the only surfable window in the whole 16-day run, and even then it’s a 1-out-of-10 kind of morning. Expect inconsistent sets, maybe a few waist-high runners, but nothing to get excited about.
After that, it’s back to

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.
