The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, in feet and miles. Let's be straight with you.
It's a tough outlook for The Box. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's really nothing to get excited about. The Box is an advanced, inconsistent spot, and this forecast is a long stretch of flat, weak, or poor conditions. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 83°, which is a notable anomaly.
We start with a gap. The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 4th of August is flat with a light breeze. Wednesday the 5th barely registers a pulse, with a tiny 1ft swell from the NNW, but it's clean in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze. Not worth paddling out for. The rest of the first week is a mix of tiny, short-period dribbles and onshore winds. Saturday morning the 8th is glassy, but with only 0.3ft on offer, it's a flat lake. Sunday the 9th is totally flat.
The second week doesn't offer any redemption. A few mornings are glassy, like Wednesday the 12th and Friday the 14th, but the swell is non-existent. The most significant event is on Monday the 17th of August. The morning brings a 5ft NE swell with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of (289) – the only real pulse of the whole forecast. But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, and the period is short, so it'll be messy and lack power. That's a fair step up in size, but it's not clean. The Box is a beach and reef setup, so with that short period and cross-shore wind, it's honestly more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
The 18th and 19th clean up again with cross-offshore winds, but the swell drops back to 1ft – 2ft with pathetic energy. It's a bleak run, but for an inconsistent spot like The Box, a blank run like this is more normal than not.

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.
