Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Box over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on the table.
Honestly, mate, this outlook is a bit of a heartbreaker. The box is a sick wave when it’s on, but for the entire 16-day window, the surf is basically a no-show. We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel with tiny, weak swells and the vast majority of the period showing zero wave energy. You’re looking at a long, dry spell from now through to the end of the forecast on the 24th of July.
The only pulses of energy are so small they’re barely worth a paddle. The best we get is a bit of a bump on the 12th of July, Sunday morning, with a tiny 2ft swell from the north, but with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no push. The combined energy is a pathetic 4. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s going to be a mess. Not a surfer’s wave.
On the 17th of July, Friday morning, there’s a slightly more interesting reading: a 1ft swell from the northeast with a 7-second period, giving a combined energy of 19. That’s still weak, but at least the period is getting into short-period groundswell territory. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it might be rideable on a longboard if you’re desperate. But “poor surf conditions” is the official word, and I’m not going to argue with that.
The standouts? There are none. There is no point in the forecast where the swell, wind, and conditions line up for a proper session. The water temp is a warm 79°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a full 4°F above average, but that’s no comfort when there’s no waves.
The Box is an inconsistent spot, and this is a prime example of a blank run. It’s not a place that fires often, so a long stretch of nothing is more normal than unusual. The ocean is just flat out not cooperating. Keep the board in the car for a different spot, or save the wax.
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.
