Alright, Rusty here again, same outlook, just in feet and miles.
The Tree is looking at a promising start, with the real peak hitting on Tuesday the 7th, followed by a drop into smaller, cleaner conditions through the second week.
We start Friday morning, July 3rd, with a solid, long-period groundswell out of the SSW running about 4ft. The wind is glassy out of the NNW, turning it on nicely. There's moderate energy pushing through (843), and the water temp is about what you’d expect for the season. The Tree is wired for a SW swell, and this 16-second pulse will wrap in with proper shape. Just a heads up – it’s an advanced break, fairly consistent, but you can sometimes find a few others out there.
Saturday and Sunday mornings keep the quality up with glassy or cross-offshore winds and the swell hanging around 3-4ft. Solid windows both days.
Monday the 6th is dead calm and glassy with the swell at 3ft. Easy going. Then Tuesday the 7th – that’s the session to circle. Swell pushes back up to 4ft from the SSW, but the period stretches to 18 seconds, kicking the energy level up into strong territory (1074). Offshore glass from the north makes it excellent. This is a powerful, clean groundswell – built for the experienced surfer who knows The Tree.
Wednesday the 8th keeps it going with a glassy morning and 4ft of swell (912 energy). Another top morning.
From Thursday the 9th into the second week, the size drops. Expect a lot of mornings in the 2-3ft range with some glassy windows. Tuesday the 14th shows a clean, cross-offshore morning with a long-period 2ft S swell, but it’s on the smaller side.
The stretch from the 15th to the 18th features mornings around 3ft with clean, glassy conditions – good for a quiet, fun session on a smaller board.
So the best bets are locked in that first week, especially the 3rd, 5th, and of course the 7th. The second week is smaller but still offers clean windows. The Tree doesn’t let beginners in easy – keep that in mind.
Rusty out.

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.
