Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Wharf over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me break this down for The Wharf over the next couple weeks. It’s a consistent reef break, intermediate level, exposed to swell and loves that south direction. Water temp is about normal for this season, nothing crazy.
Right now, it’s pretty ugly. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday morning the 9th are no good – onshore wind and poor conditions. But there’s a little window Thursday afternoon, 9th of July. The wind goes dead glassy, calm, and the swell cleans up to a nice 5ft out of the southwest, with a long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell, energy reading 1413 (moderate to strong). The Wharf will have some nice shape on that SW groundswell. That’s the best session in sight.
Friday the 10th through Tuesday the 14th is mostly blown out – cross-onshore wind, chop, poor surf. Swell stays between 2ft and 5ft but the wind ruins it.
Then comes a rough stretch from the 15th through the 20th. Swell builds up to around 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is onshore to cross-onshore and gusty, 18 to 25 mph, making it a mess. There’s a big spike on Friday 17th July with 6-6ft SSE swell and energy hitting 1519-1543 (strong) but wind is fresh onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy. That’s more of a kitesurfer’s deal than a paddle session.
The real standout is far out on the 22nd of July. Wednesday morning the 22nd shows clear skies, glassy wind, and a solid 7ft S swell with a 10-second period, energy at 1151 (moderate to strong). That’s over 1.5m, so it’s getting too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers, that’s a cracker. Glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean. The afternoon stays clean too. It’s late in the forecast, so promising but not locked in.
The Wharf can get crowded sometimes, so if you’re chasing that Thursday 9th afternoon or the 22nd, get in early.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
