Alright, let’s switch over to feet and miles. Rusty again.
For The Wharf, the first few days are a bust – nothing but poor surf, so don’t bother. The first real action comes Thursday, July 9th. The morning is iffy with some storms and a light cross-onshore, but the afternoon is pure magic: flat calm, glassy conditions, and a solid 5ft swell out of the southwest with a very long 17-second period. That’s real groundswell, pumping with a combined energy of 1320 (strong). The reef will love that long-period juice. Water temp is a warm 83°F, normal for July. This is the no-brainer standout – perfect for experienced surfers. Crowds can show up sometimes, but a Thursday afternoon might keep it mellow.
After that, it’s back to the grind. Friday through the next week is mostly trashed by onshore winds from the southeast, moderate to fresh, keeping the surf choppy and ugly. There’s a spike in size around July 17th and 18th – up to 5ft–6ft – but easterly winds at 19–22 mph ruin it. Not worth it.
Then on Sunday, July 19th, there’s a glimmer again. Morning brings a light cross-shore breeze from the southwest with a 5ft southeast swell at 13 seconds, combined energy of 1539 (strong). Still marginal, but light wind could make it workable. The afternoon drops to 4ft. Might be a backup, but Thursday the 9th is the clear winner.
So: a gap at the start, one killer session on Thursday the 9th afternoon, then a long wait with a possible Sunday the 19th. Stick with that Thursday.

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