The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into the outlook for The Box.
To be honest, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next 16 days around here. The Box is a spot that's known for being inconsistent, and this forecast is a classic example of that. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer. The first two weeks are basically a total write-off, with only tiny, short-period windswell popping up here and there, and even then, the conditions are messy. The combined energy of any swell hitting the coast is almost non-existent, often sitting at zero or a measly handful of points. You’ll be staring at a lot of flat, glassy water or light chop.
There is a tiny flicker of hope right at the very end of the window. On Monday the 10th of August, we see a pulse of swell with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 17. It’s still small, only about 1ft, coming from the NE. The morning looks promising with a glassy, clean surface from a light WNW breeze, and the water temperature is a balmy 83° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit. This is the only session that even looks like it might be worth a paddle, but keep your expectations low. After that, it’s back to the flat spell.
So, for the next two weeks, save your energy. The boards can stay in the car. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes.

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.
