The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again, switching over to feet and Fahrenheit so you don't have to do the math.
Alright, the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. I’ve looked over everything for The Box, and the short story is: there’s no surf to speak of for a long, long time.
We’ve got a major gap starting right now. For the first week and a half, it’s flat. Dead flat. The charts are showing zero energy. For an inconsistent spot like The Box that needs a good push of swell from the ENE, this is a pretty normal quiet period, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating.
The water is way warmer than usual right now, sitting at a balmy 83°F, so at least a swim feels good.
There’s one day that might barely flicker to life. On Saturday, August 10th, in the afternoon, we see a tiny 3ft swell from the NE with a short, weak 5-second period. The combined energy is a poor 57. It’s going to be choppy, too, with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. Not the kind of wave you paddle out for unless you’re just desperate.
Nothing else even comes close. The rest of the period is a mix of glassy flat mornings and bumpy flat afternoons. There is absolutely no standout session in this 16-day window. For the beginners out there, there’s nothing too big, because there’s nothing at all. For the experts who know The Box can be a ripper, this forecast is a real heartbreaker.
Keep your gear ready, because it can’t stay this quiet forever, but for now, the best wave is the one you imagine on the drive home.
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.
