The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let’s cut to it for The Bubble.
This whole 16-day window is a total bust for decent waves. There isn’t a single good day in the forecast. Water temp is a normal 72°, but don’t let that fool you.
From Monday the 27th, it’s all poor. A 5ft north windswell with a short 8-second period, but a stiff 16 mph cross-onshore north wind has it blown to bits. The combined swell energy is moderate at 243, but the chop is brutal.
Tuesday and Wednesday the 28th and 29th are rinse-repeat. Swell drops to 3ft, the period stays short, and the north wind keeps howling. Thursday the 30th through Saturday the 1st of August, you’re looking at 3ft to 4ft waves with the same onshore junk. The energy peaks around 170 on Saturday, but it’s weak and messy.
Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd, the swell flatlines to 2ft – 2ft from the WNW. The period finally gets to 9 seconds, hinting at some shape, but there’s no power. You’d be struggling to get a ride.
From Tuesday the 4th, the north windswell tries to come back. By Wednesday the 5th, we see 5ft at 7 seconds and energy at 272. But that fresh cross-onshore wind makes it lumpy and useless. By Thursday the 6th, it’s 5ft with 363 energy, but it’s all fresh cross-onshore wind and terrible quality.
Sunday the 9th gives us a 3ft groundswell from the NW with a very long 13-second period. The energy spikes to a strong 412. It would be lined up, but with 22 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just a messy bump.
The grand finale on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th: 7ft – 7ft from the NNE with an 8-second period and a massive 573 energy reading. That’s a lot of water moving for an exposed expert reef. But 19-22 mph cross-onshore winds will turn it into a dangerous, lumpy mess.
Bottom line: The Bubble has swell, but the wind ruins everything. It’s a full 16-day blank. This looks way better for a kite surfer than a paddler. Forecasts can always change, but right now it’s flat-out grim.
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.
