Wamberal Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Wamberal Beach has cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

It’s gonna be a bit stop-start, but we got some solid windows to score. The real standout hits us on Saturday the 25th of July. Early morning is the money time with a 6 ft south swell, period hangin’ around 11 seconds, and a clean offshore west-northwest breeze at 6 mph. The water’s sittin’ at a normal 65°, so nothin’ freaky there. Wave energy is moderate at 701, and that glassy water is gonna make for some beautiful, clean lines. This is the best of the first week, hands down.

Saturday arvo the wind swings onshore and it gets a bit lumpy, but Sunday the 26th is another ripper morning. Same story – 6 ft from the south with that 11-second period, and again that offshore west-southwest breeze. The energy jumps to 760, so it’s got some real grunt. Just expect a few more folks in the water when it’s this clean.

After Sunday, things go quiet. Monday the 27th morning has a smaller 4 ft south swell with a cross-off wind, okay for a quick paddle, but nothin’ to write home about. Then we hit a proper flat spell. From Tuesday the 28th through to Friday the 31st of July, it’s mostly small, messy, or just plain poor. A few mornings are clean but the swell barely reaches your shin. That’s a solid 5-day gap where you’re better off doin’ somethin’ else.

Just when you’re gettin’ bummed out, Monday the 3rd of August brings a pulse back. The morning shows a 6 ft south swell with a short 7-second period, but the wind is light offshore from the west at 3 mph, keepin’ it clean. Energy is moderate at 558. It’s not the most powerful, but it’s rideable and clean.

Tuesday the 4th of August morning is another standout. A 6 ft east-southeast swell with a 9-second period, light north-west cross-off wind, and clean conditions. Energy at 511. This one has a nice shape.

As we roll into the second week, Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August mornings offer similar vibes with 5 ft and 4 ft south-east swells and clean winds. Good, solid, everyday surf. Friday the 7th of August arvo is worth a mention too – 5 ft easterly groundswell with an 11-second period and a clean cross-off wind. A nice way to finish the week.

The very end of the run, Sunday the 9th of August afternoon, shows a 4 ft east-southeast groundswell and a moderate offshore wind. A bit blustery, but the wind is off, so it could be clean enough for a session if you’re keen.

Bottom line: that first Saturday and Sunday morning block is the gold. The rest is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s enough clean mornings in the second week to keep you interested. Watch the wind chart and get out there when it’s glassy.

Rusty.
