The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch of the 16-day window is a bit of a bummer for The Box. The swell is super tiny for most of the run, and the conditions are rarely falling into place for a proper surf. We’re looking at a long, quiet period with no real standouts.
Starting off on Sunday, August 30, and through the whole first week into early September, the energy is just not there. Sunday morning starts with a tiny 1ft NE windswell at a short 5 seconds, but it’s glassy. The water is 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a weak 3. The rest of that week just fizzles out with zeros and scraps, with a few days of glassy conditions but absolutely no swell to ride. The Box is a pretty exposed spot, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter.
The real wait is for Sunday, September 6. The morning brings a lift with a 2ft NE swell, a period of 7 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy climbs to 45, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind is light from the SSE, making it nearly glassy. This is the only window that looks even remotely interesting, but the swell is still tiny and the period is short, so don’t expect much.
After that, it’s back to scraps. A few clean mornings pop up, like September 7 and September 11 with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is practically non-existent – 1ft and 0.3ft. The combined energy stays in the single digits for most of the rest of the run. The period never gets long enough to get excited about, and the wave quality is consistently poor.
Overall, this is a tough one. There’s no real highlight here. The only morning that might get you wet is Sunday, September 6, with that tiny glassy bump. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off waiting for the next swell. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a flat spell.
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.
