The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for The Box.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. The Box is an inconsistent, advanced-only reef and beach setup that rarely breaks well, and over this whole 16-day run, it’s just not happening. There’s no standout surf in this window. The entire forecast is a write-off for paddle surfing, with nothing but tiny, weak pulses and poor surf conditions all the way through.
Starting from now and right through to the end of the window, the swell is virtually non-existent. You’re looking at wave heights from flat up to a meagre 4ft, with periods under 8 seconds – short-period, weak, junky stuff. The combined swell energy barely reaches three digits on a single occasion, hitting 91 on Saturday the 12th of September, which is just moderate and paired with onshore winds. Most days the energy sits in the single digits or low double digits, which is weak.
The water temperature is about 82°F at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year – a degree or so above average.
For the first few days, you’ve got glassy conditions on Sunday the 30th of August morning, but with only 0.3ft of swell it’s unrideable. By Wednesday the 2nd of September, the swell bumps up to 4ft, but that’s accompanied by a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The 4th of September morning is glassy with a 2ft, 8-second swell, but it’s still tiny and the energy is weak (31).
From the 6th of September through the 11th, there are long gaps of flat conditions with clean offshore winds but zero surf. The only hint of something happening is on the 12th of September with 3ft swell and 91 combined energy, but the wind is cross-onshore – it’s just not worth the paddle.
If you’re into kiting, the setup on the 2nd of September afternoon with 4ft and fresh cross-onshore wind might look more interesting than surfing.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks, this is a classic blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient.
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.
