Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the charts are pretty much flatlined. For a stretch that goes all the way from now until the end of the first week of July, there's just nothing to get excited about. We're looking at a solid 7-day gap where you could be forgiven for leaving the boards in the shed. The swell is tiny, if it's even there at all, and the energy readings are pathetic, with most days sitting at zero or single digits in the combined swell energy. It’s a real bust.
Things start to whisper to life around the second weekend. The first flicker of something rideable shows up on Saturday, July 12th, at The Box. We're talking a small pulse of swell, around 2 ft, dribbling in from the NNE. The period is a short, weak 4 seconds, so it won't have any punch. The combined energy nudges up to 9-10, which is still very weak. But the morning has a light cross-shore from the NNW, so it might be just about clean enough for a longboard on the right tide. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Into the third week, on Monday July 14th, there's a slight shift. The swell is still tiny at 1 ft from the ESE, with a 6-second period. The morning glass-off from the SSW is a major positive, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. The energy is still weak at 10, but for this area, that's about as good as it gets in this forecast. If you're desperate for a paddle, that Monday morning window is your best bet. The Box is an inconsistent spot, so seeing a window like this is notable, even if the waves are knee-high.
After that, it's back to nothing much. There's a minor bump mid-week on Wednesday July 16th with 2 ft from the NE and a 7-second period, combined energy of 30, but it comes with cloudy skies and a light cross-shore. Still, that’s the biggest wave height in the whole run. Don't get your hopes up for anything hollow; this is strictly small, clean, long-period slop for the logs.
The bottom line: there are no standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a lean run for The Box. Stay patient, forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a typical quiet spell for the area.

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.
