The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for The Bubble.
Look, the next week and a half is a write-off for decent surf at The Bubble. We've got a few swells showing up, but the wind is just wrecking it every time. From Monday the 24th right through to the start of September, it's a constant story of fresh cross-onshore wind, choppy conditions, and poor surf quality. The swell does pick up a bit at times – Saturday the 29th has some energy pushing through (combined swell energy around 1081) with 6ft swell from the north, but that fresh NNE breeze at 18 mph is going to turn it into a messy, lumpy sea. It's just not worth paddling out for a proper surf. There's a big gap of days here with nothing to recommend.
After that long stretch of poor conditions, things finally start to change. On Monday the 7th of September, we get a shift. The wind drops right off to a light breeze from the northwest, only around 6 mph, and it’s a cross-shore wind. That’s a huge improvement. The swell direction swings around to the west-northwest with a very long period of 19 seconds – that’s pure groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 830, pushing waves in the 4-5ft range on the Monday afternoon. This is a proper swell. That long period will mean well-shaped waves, but at a reef break like The Bubble, that’s actually ideal; it won't just close out. It's definitely an expert-only spot on a good day, and this is a good day. The water has been sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home.
This Monday and Tuesday look like the standout window. Tuesday the 8th still has a decent 4ft swell from the WNW with a 14-second period, and the wind stays manageable, though it shifts a little more onshore. For this spot, Monday the 7th is the clear pick – glassy conditions, proper groundswell, and clean lines. Don't expect a crowd-free session though; The Bubble can get busy, but the quality on offer will be worth the company. After that, it looks like it tails off again.
So, to sum it up: nothing for days, then a sharp, promising window on the 7th and 8th of September. The 7th is your best shot.
Rusty.

Information about the The Bubble Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Bubble provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Bubble can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Bubble 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 Bubble) 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 Bubble 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.
