G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Tip Beach.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write the week off. The first proper window kicks off Thursday morning, July 9th, with a clean 4 ft swell pushing in from the southeast. The wind is glassy, coming light from the northeast at just 3 mph, so the surface is going to be smooth. The water temp is sitting at 59°, pretty much dead average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 430. Shaped up nicely.

Thursday afternoon sees the wind swing easterly and pick up to 9 mph, ruining things with a choppy cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out.

Friday the 10th starts clean again in the morning – 4 ft from the southeast, with a light 3 mph northerly giving a clean cross-off breeze. The swell period is a touch short at 8 seconds, but it’s surfable and clean. The energy drops to a moderate 252.

Saturday the 11th is smaller, 3 ft from the east-southeast with a 6 mph northerly cross-off. Clean, but ordinary – the energy is only 172.

Sunday the 12th is flat – 1.0 ft from the east-southeast, 31 energy. Not worth a second look.

Monday the 13th brings a new pulse. The swell swings to the southwest at 4 ft with a nice 9 mph offshore from the northwest. Clean, glassy offshore vibes. Combined energy is 239.

Tuesday the 14th holds around 4 ft from the southwest, but the cross-off wind from the west-southwest is stronger at 12 mph. Clean, but a bit rougher. Energy is 247. Afternoon bumps up to 5 ft but with 16 mph wind – marginal.

Wednesday the 15th jumps to 7 ft from the south-southwest, but there’s rain showers and a cross-onshore from the south at 9 mph. Choppy and messy. Combined energy climbs to 590 but the quality is poor. Thursday the 16th sees some leftover 4 ft southeasterly swell, but the wind stays cross-onshore. Not great.

Now, the standout – and I mean the real standout – is Friday the 17th of July. That morning is going to be special. Glassy conditions with a light 3 mph northwesterly, and a solid 5 ft southeast groundswell rolling in with a 10-second period. Combined energy is a strong 597. That’s a morning to clear your calendar. The wind is glass, the swell is solid, and the surface will be like a mirror. This is the pick of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 18th morning is also a beauty. Another 5 ft from the east-southeast, clean with a 3 mph northerly cross-off. 540 energy. Saturday afternoon gets spoilt by a 9 mph cross-onshore.

Sunday the 19th drops to 5 ft from the east, with a light cross-shore. Not bad, but nothing special.

Monday the 20th has a glassy morning again – 4 ft from the east with a light west-northwest breeze. 392 energy. Nice and clean for the start of the week.

Tuesday the 21st brings a 5 ft swell from the southwest, glassy in the morning. 425 energy. Clean.

Wednesday the 22nd morning looks promising: 5 ft from the south with a very long 11-second period, and a light cross-off from the west-southwest. Clean and shaped. 598 energy – another strong morning.

Thursday the 23rd is a lighter 4 ft from the south, clean with a light offshore from the west. 254 energy.

After that, the surf fades. Friday the 24th drops to 2 ft from the south, and only 77 energy. Ordinary. Afternoon picks up a weird 3 ft from the northeast with a 6-second period – messy and weak.

So if you’re picking one session, it’s Friday the 17th of July, first light. That’s the one. The rest of the run is a mix of clean mornings and choppy afternoons, but that Friday morning is the gold.

Stay wet,
Rusty

Information about the Tip Beach Surf forecast

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