Wamberal Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Looks like Wamberal Beach is gonna be a bit of a slow burner over the next couple of weeks. The first couple of days are pretty ordinary, but there’s a few windows where it’ll clean right up and deliver some fun, manageable waves. The standout sessions are gonna be Monday the 7th morning and Friday the 11th morning – those are the ones to circle.

Alright, let’s get into it. Sunday the 6th is a write-off. Only 2ft of weak, short-period S swell and cross-off or cross-on winds all day. Combined energy is sitting at just 71 to 93 (weak) – not worth paddling out for.

Monday the 7th morning is where it starts to get interesting. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the S, period hanging at 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm, slight air. Combined energy jumps to 274 (moderate). That’s gonna be clean, glassy conditions and fun little waves. This is the first standout. If you’re a beginner, this is your window. Afternoon turns onshore and choppy, so make the most of the morning.

Tuesday the 8th gets messy. Swell pushes up to 8ft from the SSE with 846 (moderate) energy, but it’s crossed up and the wind is onshore or cross. Marginal at best. This is more of a challenge than a treat – probably one for the experienced crew only, and even then, the conditions aren’t doing it any favours. Wednesday the 9th is a write-off too – lumpy, windy, poor quality.

Thursday the 10th morning sees the swell jump to 10ft from the S with a period of 10 seconds and combined energy at 2947 (strong to very strong). That’s a lot of juice. Problem is, it’s too big for this beach break – the file says it’s too big for this spot. Only experts should even consider it, and even then the cross-shore wind will make it ugly. Afternoon drops to 8ft but stays marginal.

Now, Friday the 11th morning – this is the real gem. Swell sits at 6ft from the S, period 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy again. Combined energy is 791 (moderate). Clean, glassy, good energy – this is your second standout. Get out there early. Afternoon goes cross-on and choppy, so it’s a morning-only window.

Saturday the 12th is average, with a light cross-on breeze and marginal conditions. Swell drops to 5ft. Sunday the 13th is small and clean-ish in the morning but drops off fast. From there, the second week is pretty quiet. Monday the 14th to Wednesday the 16th is mostly small, weak, and onshore – not much to get excited about. Thursday the 17th is onshore and lumpy again.

Things perk up a touch from Friday the 18th. That morning is cross-off and clean with 4ft from the SSE (293 energy, moderate) – surfable but nothing special. The afternoon goes offshore with a moderate breeze and clean conditions, combined energy at 354 (moderate) – that’s a solid session for the end of the week. Saturday the 19th keeps that theme going: clean, light winds, small but fun SSE swell around 3ft to 4ft. Good for a longboard or a funboard.

Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st are small and weak again, with combined energy dropping to 140 or lower (weak). Not much happening.

So to wrap it up: Monday the 7th morning and Friday the 11th morning are the standouts – glassy, clean, and good energy. The rest is a mixed bag of small, onshore, or too big. Crowds are always a possibility at Wamberal, especially on the good mornings, so get there early.

Catch ya in the water.

Rusty.
