The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Venus Bay over the next couple of weeks.

First off, it’s a pretty slow start. We’ve got some swell on the way, but for the first few days, the wind is just going to mess it up and the surf quality won’t be there for a proper session. The water temp is around average for this time of year, nothing to write home about, just the usual chill.

We’re looking at a bit of a wait. From the start, it’s mostly onshore winds and messy conditions through until at least the 4th of September. The swell will be there, sure, but it’s not going to be clean.

Now, if you can hold out, there’s a real standout. The morning of Wednesday the 9th of September is your target. We’ve got a solid 7ft SW groundswell – that’s a beefy, long-period swell clocking in at 19 seconds. The energy is strong. This is one of those days where the whole setup comes together. The wind will be light offshore from the east, so it’ll be clean. That’s a big, powerful wave though, over 7ft, so this is definitely one for the experienced crew only. The break is a consistent reef, and it can draw a crowd sometimes, so get in early.

Before that, Thursday the 5th to Sunday the 8th of September is mostly blown out or just not great, with onshore wind and poor conditions.

After the 9th, we’ve got another good window coming up. Sunday the 13th of September morning looks excellent. We’ve got a clean 6ft SW swell with a light offshore breeze. That’s a prime wave. Again, this is for the experienced surfer given the size.

The second week has some promising signs too, like the morning of the 10th and 11th September with clean, cross-off winds and decent swell, but it’s a bit more tentative that far out. The morning of the 12th looks like a small, glassy day – only 3ft, but it’ll be perfect for a beginner or a longboard if the tide lines up.

The key takeaway: The morning of the 9th of September is the heavyweight champion of this outlook. Big, clean, powerful swells. The 13th is another beauty. Be patient, be picky, and don’t get tempted by the wind-ruined days before that.

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.
