The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for The Wedge. I’ve gotta be honest right off the bat, this 16-day window is looking pretty grim for a surf. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or poor conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for any real waves.
Right now, and for the next week or so, it’s a write-off. The combined swell energy is mostly below 100 (44 on Sunday morning), with tiny, weak swells and nasty wind directions. The wind is consistently cross, cross-on, or just plain onshore, chopping up anything that might try to show. There’s a big gap of flatness from Monday the 16th right through to Thursday the 19th of September where we are barely getting a pulse. You’d be better off going for a swim.
Finally, we get a bit of a glimmer on Saturday the 19th of September morning. The Wedge will see a 3.0ft swell coming from the SE with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 166 (moderate) and for a brief moment we get some clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to blow your mind.
The real standout, and I mean the only one worth a proper look, is shaping up for Saturday the 26th of September morning. This is two weeks away so treat it as promising but not locked in. We’re looking at a 4.3ft ENE groundswell, with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy is a solid 261 (moderate). The water temp is about 63.5°, which is slightly cooler than average for this time of year. The big selling point here is that the wind is due to go glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat for The Wedge and should give us some super clean lines for the experienced crew. It’s an exposed reef break that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, so if it comes together, it’ll be a quiet session for those who know what they’re doing.
For the rest of the period, it’s mostly back to tiny, chopped-out mush. Don’t hold your breath.

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