The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. The Box (Newcastle) is looking at a pretty rough 16-day stretch. The whole forecast period is a write-off. There is no surf on offer that’s worth paddling out for, so we’re talking about a full gap from now right through to the end of the outlook.
The models show tiny, weak energy flickering through. We’re talking flat spells with combined swell energy readings often at zero or in the single digits (0 to 12), which is just heartbreaking. Even the few moments where a little bump tries to show up, like the 1 ft from the NE on Wednesday, August 19th, the wind is cross-onshore and it’s all chopped out. That energy reading of 135 is moderate, but the quality is just not there. By the time we get to the second week, it’s more of the same – tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft slop with poor wind. It’s a kite-surfing setup more than a paddle-surfing one if that’s your thing.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that happens. Don’t let it get you down – it tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change.
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.
