The Lowdown

Alright folks this is Rusty, looking over the next couple weeks at Venus Bay.

First week’s rough. Barely a ripple to start. The first real action worth getting out of bed for is on Wednesday the 24th. So yeah, you’re waiting a while.

The big standout? Friday morning the 24th. Venus Bay is looking clean. Light breeze coming off the land, helping keep the face smooth. Swell is 5ft from the SW, period 14 seconds (1090 energy – moderate to strong). That’s a proper groundswell with enough punch for experienced surfers. Not beginner territory.

Before that, Monday morning the 21st is a decent option if you’re on a learner log. You’ve got 3ft from the SW at 13 seconds (422 energy) with a cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions. Nothing spectacular but it’ll do.

Saturday the 25th has a nice pulse: 4ft from the SW, 13 seconds (540 energy), gentle offshore in the morning. That afternoon turns glassy with 3ft and a period of 13 seconds. Hard to beat that.

Then comes a nasty stretch from the 26th through the 29th – windy, messy, lumpy. Not for us.

Second week – Thursday the 30th is nice: 3ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds (625 energy), light cross-offshore, clean. A proper little session.

Friday the 31st keeps it small but tidy: morning offshore breeze with 2ft from the SW at 13 seconds (284 energy). Clean.

And keep an eye on Monday the 3rd of August: 3ft from the SW, 17 seconds (434 energy), light offshore. That’s a long period groundswell. Smooth and gentle.

Best of the bunch is Friday the 24th. That’s your day.

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.
