The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the entire 16-day window, I gotta tell you, it's a bleak one for The Box. There's nothing on the table that I'd call a proper session. The whole period is basically a write-off for a decent paddle.
Starting from Sunday the 26th of July, it's just not happening. We've got a bit of swell early on, but the wind is a mess. Sunday morning sees a 4.6ft swell from the NNE, but that's getting mashed up by a 18.6 mph cross-onshore. The water temp? Right about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. That afternoon drops to a 3.3ft onshore mess. Through Monday the 27th, it flattens right out. Tuesday the 28th is the same story – tiny waves and poor conditions.
From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the end of the first week and into the start of August, the swell completely vanishes. There's literally nothing showing, just flat, clean mornings with zero energy (0), but no waves to enjoy. Even when a little 1.3ft bump shows up on Saturday the 1st of August, the wind is on it. The Box is an inconsistent spot as it is, and this run of flat, wind-affected days is a classic example.
We then hit a long gap. From the 2nd of August through to the 10th of August, the swell is either non-existent or barely a ripple. There’s a tiny knee-high wave now and then, like on Wednesday the 5th with 1.6ft from the ESE and a weak energy reading (21), but the cross-shore wind just chops it up. On Saturday the 8th of August, there's a 2.0ft swell from the NNW with a clean offshore, but the period is a pathetic 3 seconds – it's just wind chop with no push.
The best you could honestly say is the early morning of Monday the 10th of August, where there’s a 1.6ft swell from the north, but again, it's short-period and cross-shore. It’s kite-surfing conditions, not paddle surfing. There's nothing here worth getting excited about, no standout days. It's a tough call for the next two weeks.

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.
