Alright folks, it's Rusty here. We've got a pretty wild run ahead of us for Venus Bay, with a real mixed bag of clean conditions and howling winds. The water temp is sitting at 60.4°, which is just about 1.4° cooler than what we usually see this time of year, nothing wild.

The first real window opens up Saturday the 5th. Sunday morning the 5th is the absolute standout early on. We're looking at 5 ft of SW swell, with a long 17-second period pushing a massive 1812m of energy. And the best part? A clean offshore breeze from the ENE. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but at this size with that much punch, it's not one for the beginners. The reef handles that long period far better than a beachie would, so the shape should be quality. Expect crowds here, this is a consistent break and it's gonna be on.

The run of offshore conditions keeps going. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th stay in the 3 ft to 3.6 ft range with 15-16 second periods, and you'll find clean, fun little waves with a gentle offshore breeze. The crowd might thin out a bit on weekdays.

Now, for the next real standout, you're looking at Wednesday the 8th. Morning and afternoon both have 5.2 ft of SW swell and a 16-17 second period, throwing up strong energy readings (1641-1714). Offshore winds all day, first from the ENE, then the NE. This is another top pick for the experienced crew. The quality of the wave will be excellent, just know it's got some grunt.

After a quick clean-up on the 9th, things go a bit wonky. From the 11th to the 14th, we get a messy mix. Saturday the 11th sees a jump to 8.2 ft, but it's short-period windswell from the WSW with a poxy 8-second period and a short-lived spike of 6 seconds and a cross-onshore wind. That's a choppy, bumpy mess that's more interesting for kite-surfing than surfing. The 12th is completely blown out with 22 mph onshore winds and massive energy.

There's another small gap, but the tail end shows some promise. Wednesday the 15th and then Friday the 17th morning look like our best bet for the second week. The 17th is particularly nice with glassy conditions, a 3.6 ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds and 892 energy. It'll be clean, but still a better wave for the point and reef.

So to sum it up: Sunday the 5th and Wednesday the 8th are your absolute best shots for quality, powerful surf. The middle of the run is a write-off, but the week after offers a couple of nice clean days to finish.

Stay stoked.

Information about the Venus Bay Surf forecast

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