The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for The Box.
Straight up, it’s a grim outlook for the next two weeks. We’re looking at a big fat zero for surf for the first 13 days. There’s just nothing doing. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the 11th of August, it’s a total write-off. You’ll see a few tiny ripples but nothing that’s worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, but no waves to enjoy it.
The first whiff of anything surfable shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. We get a tiny 3 ft swell from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 63 – barely enough to get excited about. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. Still, it’s a long way off and pretty weak. The morning of Thursday the 13th of August is similar, with a 2 ft NE swell, period 8 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind. Energy is 49. Nothing to write home about.
The pick of the entire outlook, if you can call it that, would be the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. It’s the only real window where the stars align for a clean, surfable wave. But honestly, mate, it’s tiny. For a spot like The Box – an advanced, inconsistent reef break – this is a waiting game. It’s a beach-and-reef setup with a bit of an ENE optimum swell, which we’re not getting here. The crowds are *sometimes* an issue, but with waves this small, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Signing off, 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.
