Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for The Tree in feet and miles. Water's warm – 87°F, a bit above average for the season, so you'll be fine in boardshorts.
The first call is Monday July 6 morning: glassy with a north-northwest breeze at 3 mph, swell 3ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds. Moderate energy at 735. Crowds are possible – it's an advanced wave, so respect it.
Best session is Tuesday July 7 morning: swell bumps to 4ft, same SSW direction, period 18 seconds, and glassy with north wind at 3 mph. Energy hits 1058 – solid moderate-strong. That's the one to circle.
Wednesday July 8 morning offers 4ft, 16 seconds, glassy. Thursday and Friday mornings serve 3ft with glassy winds and similar period. Saturday July 11 afternoon gets a clean cross-off breeze, 3ft, worth a paddle if mornings are tough.
Second week: Tuesday July 14 morning has 4ft, 14 seconds, glassy. Monday July 20 morning brings 2ft from the south, but an 18-second pulse with glassy conditions – exciting but a bit far out. Tuesday July 21 morning: 3ft SSW, glassy.
Mornings rule here. Swell is slightly south of the preferred SW, but still firing. No big surf – max 4ft – but quality is consistent. Gaps are only between afternoons and mornings, and mornings stay reliable. Get after it.
Rusty.

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