Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for The Three Bears. We've got a big run of swell ahead, but the winds are going to play games with us, so you gotta pick your moments.
We kick off on Monday the 6th with a solid 10ft groundswell from the WSW, with a very long 15-second period. The energy is pumping hard (3952), but the south-easterly cross-offshore keeps it clean. The water temp's sitting at 67°, which is pretty much where it should be for this time of year, just a tick warmer than normal.
Tuesday morning the 7th is the real standout early on. You've got an 8ft WSW groundswell pushing in with a 16-second period, and that clean cross-off wind again. The energy is still massive (3369), and the conditions are set up for experienced surfers to get some. This is the one to aim for.
Wednesday the 8th brings a shift. The morning has a clean 8ft swell with 17-second period from the WSW and a light offshore wind from the west, so it'll be clean early. The energy is huge again (3767). The afternoon glass off is tempting, but it goes cross-shore. Thursday morning the 9th is a gem for the crew who like it clean. Glassy conditions, zero wind, and an 8ft WSW groundswell with 14 seconds. The energy is still strong (2350). It'll be a great morning session, but this swell size is pushing it for beginners. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore.
Friday the 10th sees the swell dropping to 5ft, still clean in the morning with a cross-off. Saturday the 11th is another glassy morning with a 6ft WSW groundswell. The energy is still decent (1328), and that glass makes it very appealing.
Now, from the afternoon of the 12th through most of the second week, the wind turns ugly for long stretches, with strong cross-on and onshore flows. The swell stays solid, even hitting 13ft on Friday the 17th, but the energy (10832) is paired with awful 25 mph+ onshore winds. It's going to be a washing machine. There is a great chance to reset on Monday the 14th with clean offshore winds in the morning and a beautiful 7ft groundswell, and then Tuesday the 15th looks pure glass with a 7ft groundswell – that's another top call.
The very end of the run, on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, offers some hope again with a solid 8ft groundswell, 16-second period, and clean cross-off winds. That's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
To boil it down: Tuesday morning the 7th and the glassy morning of Saturday the 11th are your top-tier windows. Get in the water then if you can handle a bit of size.
Rusty.

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