Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’re looking at The Box, a beach and reef setup that needs a decent ENE swell to get going, and we just aren’t seeing it. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. There’s a big gap from now until around the 20th of July where there is nothing worth paddling out for – days and days of flat, weak, or junk conditions. It’s a tough run.
The first hint of something happens on Monday the 20th of July. Monday morning we get a tiny pulse of swell, 2.6ft from the NNE, with a period of only 4 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell, and combined energy is a low 29. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, which would keep things clean, but the swell is just too small and weak. By Monday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4.3ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy hitting 118, so there’s a bit more push. But the wind swings southerly and cranks up to 19 mph, which is a fresh breeze and cross-off, so it’s not going to be pretty. This is the only real window with any size, and for The Box, it’s not going to be worthwhile. Given the wind and the weak, short-period nature of the swell, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a proper surf session.
Tuesday the 21st sees the swell drop back to 1.6ft from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds and energy down to 28, and a light cross-shore wind. It’s a nothing burger.
Water temperature at the start of the forecast is 78.4°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus if you were going to get wet, but you won’t be.
So, there it is. A long, dry spell with only one small, wind-affected bump in the road. No standouts here, just a reminder that summer flat spells happen. Forecasts can always change, but for now, maybe give the board a wax and wait.

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.
