The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be honest: the next 16 days at The Box are looking pretty flat. There’s a big gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for, and it stays that way for a long stretch. It’s not until the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, that we finally see a pulse of energy worth mentioning.
The Box (beach and reef) is an advanced wave known for being inconsistent, and this forecast nails that. For the first 12 days, the combined energy values are mostly in the single digits or low double digits, which is about as weak as it gets. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, a massive 4°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window comes on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. We get a 4ft swell from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds, pushing a combined energy of 77 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the NNW, which means the surface will be clean. The Box works best with swell from the ENE, and this is close enough to make it interesting. The waves will be small and weak, but the conditions will be smooth. For a break that rarely gets a wave, this is the one shot. It’s not a day for beginners, but an advanced surfer might find a few fun ones.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. After that Sunday morning, it drops back to tiny, weak, and messy. If you’re desperate, you could go for a paddle, but don’t expect much.
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.
