The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty rough stretch for the next sixteen days. The only spot on the map is The Bubble (reef) , and it’s an expert-only wave that faces the north. The problem is, for almost every single session, the wind is blowing cross-onshore from the north or north-northeast, ruining the surface. The water temperature is about 74°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From August 10th through the 14th, there’s a little push in energy, with combined energy numbers climbing into the low 200s, but the swell period is just 6 to 7 seconds, which is short and weak. The wind is constantly messing it up. Wave heights stay small, mostly 2ft to 4ft, and every report says the same thing: poor conditions. The swell is coming from the north, which is almost the same direction as the wind, so it’s choppy and lumpy.
We get a bit more size toward the end of the run. By Tuesday, August 25th, the swell hits 6ft in the morning and afternoon, with the combined energy peaking at 360. That’s the most energy we see, but the period is still just 7 seconds, and the wind is still cross-onshore at 25 to 30 mph. At that size, with short period and messy wind, this is strictly for experts, and it’s still going to be a rough paddle.
Because the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and this is a reef setup, the surface is going to stay choppy and uninviting. Honestly, with that persistent wind, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s nothing here that stands out as a true good session in the entire 16-day forecast.
I’d save your energy on this one. Sometimes the forecasts just don’t line up, and this is one of those times.
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.
