The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down what the next couple of weeks are looking like. It's a bit of a dry spell, to be honest.
The whole 16-day window is pretty tough for The Bubble. We start with a long gap where there's just nothing good to recommend. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is just poor.
First up, on Monday the 17th of August, we've got a small 1.1m north swell, but the wind is straight onshore. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°F, but that doesn't help the waves. Day after day, it's the same story: small, wind-affected, and just messy. The combined swell energy gets up into a moderate range mid-week, but the wind kills it.
By the end of the month, around the 30th of August, the swell bumps up to around 3 ft, still from the north with a cross-onshore wind. It's lumpy and not inviting for a paddle. That's more of a kite-surfing setup.
The one real standout, and I mean the only one, is on Monday morning the 31st of August. We get a clean 3 ft north groundswell with a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is a strong 1135. The wind goes offshore from the NNE at 20 mph. That should make for some clean, powerful waves at this expert reef break. You'll need to watch the tide, and crowds are often a problem here, but for the experienced crew, that's the session.
After that, it's back to poor conditions and onshore wind. So, a long blank run for this area, with just that one promising, but distant, highlight.

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.
