The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. The outlook for Venus Bay over the next couple of weeks is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got some serious groundswell on the menu, but the winds are going to be the real story – they're going to make or break the sessions for us. Water temps are sitting at about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual to worry about there.
The action starts to build from Monday the 7th, but it's not really worth paddling out until the wind plays ball. Monday morning has a clean little 3ft south-west swell with a solid 13-second period, but it's pretty weak energy (286). By Tuesday the 8th, things heat up. The Tuesday morning session is a real standout. We've got a solid 5ft south-west groundswell with a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at moderate (1178). The wind is a light 6 mph cross-offshore from the SE, so it'll be clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, so get out there if you know what you're doing.
The swell keeps pushing into Wednesday the 9th, hitting 6ft to 6ft with periods of 19-seconds. The energy gets very strong (2342), but it's blowing a fresh 22 mph ESE cross-offshore breeze. The size and power mean this is strictly for experienced crew, and that wind, while offshore, will make it tricky. Given the size, this setup might actually be more interesting for the kite surfing crew than for paddle surfing.
By Thursday the 10th, it drops back a little to 5ft, still with good period. The wind stays clean but fresh.
Friday the 11th is a highlight for the weekend warrior. The morning session is looking magic with a 3ft south-west swell, a 15-second period, and a gentle 9 mph offshore wind from the NE. Clean, glassy conditions and gentle offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (530). That’s your call for a fun, cruisy paddle.
The following week gets a bit messy with onshore winds, but we get another promising window. Tuesday the 16th morning sees a 5ft south-west swell with a moderate 15-second period, and a moderate 12 mph offshore E wind. This is excellent, powerful stuff for experienced surfers with strong energy (1555).
Sunday the 20th shows up with two great windows. The morning has a gentle 6 mph ENE offshore wind with a 4ft south-west swell. The afternoon is the real killer, though: a 5ft swell from the SSW, a 14-second period, and only a 6 mph cross-offshore ESE breeze. Glassy, clean, with strong energy (1070). Excellent conditions.
Tuesday the 22nd is the final standout for the experts. The Tuesday morning has a 6ft south-west swell with a 17-second period and a glassy 6 mph offshore NE wind. The combined energy is very strong (2166), making for powerful, clean waves for those who can handle it.
So, overall, the standout sessions are the Tuesday 8th morning, Friday 11th morning, and Sunday 20th afternoon. Get on them.
Rusty.

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.
