The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for The Box. I've gotta be straight with you – this is a lean stretch. The 16-day window starts now, and we’ve got a big gap right at the beginning. The first sniff of anything rideable doesn't show up until the morning of Friday the 28th of August, and even then, it’s only 0.7ft of easterly windswell with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just (4). It’s not really worth getting wet for.
The pattern for that first week is dominated by tiny, weak swells and onshore or cross-off winds. The energy stays low, with the combined swell energy mostly below (20). There are a few moments of glassy conditions – like the morning of Sunday the 30th of August, with no wind and flat surf – but that's not gonna get you a wave. We see a long stretch from Tuesday the 1st right through to Thursday the 3rd of September where there's essentially nothing on offer.
The best of what little we have comes later. Keep an eye on the morning of Friday the 4th of September. The Box might just wake up. We’re looking at 2ft of northeast swell, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to (51). The conditions are glassy with a light southwest wind, which will keep the surface clean. That's the standout in this whole outlook, even if it's small. Then on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, we see another similar pulse: 2ft from the northeast, period of 7 seconds, combined energy (24), with a light cross-off breeze from the southwest. It'll be clean, just tiny.
Generally, though, The Box is inconsistent and fairly exposed, but the swell energy for most of this run is weak. For a break that’s "beach and reef" and suited to advanced surfers, you need a bit more juice than this. With such small surf and the swell consistently below 2ft, there aren't any real standout sessions for a place like this. It's one to watch, but I wouldn't plan a trip around it right now.
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.
