The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – The Box is a tricky beast, and this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it’s not going to be handing out any favours. The first week is a write-off, pure and simple. From the 1st of September right through to the 10th, we’re looking at a big, fat zero for surfable waves. It’s flat, it’s choppy, and the wind is all over the shop. You’ll be staring at a lake, not a surf break. That’s a solid ten days of nothing.
Then, come Thursday the 10th of September, we finally see a pulse of life. The swell builds to 2 ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 34. It’s not much, and the wind is clean offshore from the WSW in the morning. By afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NE, still short period, but the energy creeps up to 45. It’s surfable, but it’s small and weak. Friday the 11th is similar, with a clean morning but a messy, cross-onshore afternoon.
The real standout, the only one worth setting your alarm for, is the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. We get a jump in swell to 5 ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 184 (moderate), so there’s some actual push behind it. The wind is a cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph. For The Box, which is a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is your best shot. It’s a bit of a messy cross-shore, not glassy, but it’s the biggest and most powerful swell we’ll see. It’s only for advanced surfers, as 5 ft here can get gnarly.
After that, the surf drops off again. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th offer 4 ft and 3 ft waves, but they’re weak (energy in the 50-80 range) and the wind is only passable. By Tuesday the 15th, it’s back to tiny 2 ft dribble, even if it is glassy. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 80°.
So, to be honest, if you’re a kite surfer, the whole period might look interesting. But for a paddle surfer? The only day with a real pulse is the morning of the 12th. Everything else is a scratch. It’s not a great run, but with a spot as inconsistent as The Box, a blank run is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
