Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Warner Beach over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag to kick things off. The first proper surf we’ve got to talk about lands on Saturday afternoon, the 4th of July. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell out of the SSE, with moderate wave energy pushing through (1354). The wind is a cross-shore from the ENE at 6 mph, so the surface will be a little rippled, nothing too nasty. The water temp is sitting at a normal 72°F, right on average for this time of year. It’s a decent start, but nothing that’s going to blow your wetsuit off.

Sunday the 5th is where things get interesting. The morning session is the clear standout of the whole outlook. You’ve got a 5 ft SSE swell, 12-second period, and a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. That wind will clean the face right up. The combined energy is moderate (741). It’s not the biggest swell, but with that clean wind, it’s going to be well-shaped and fun for an intermediate surfer. This is easily the best wave of the first week.

The following week gets a bit hit-and-miss. The swell drops off, and we’ve got some scrappy days with onshore winds and short-period slop. Wednesday the 8th morning goes glassy with a tiny 2 ft ENE swell, but there’s so little energy (85) it’s barely moving. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, for the long-range window, Thursday the 16th is worth a mention. The wind swings light from the NE, and we get a 4 ft E swell with a moderate period of 10 seconds. The combined energy nudges up to 324. It’s a marginal day, but better than the garbage that comes before it.

The real long-range gem might be Friday the 17th of July morning. We see glassy conditions with a light 3 ft ENE, 9-second period swell. The combined energy is weak at 226, but the glassy surface could make for a fun, small-wave session if you’ve got a fish or a log.

Overall, your best bet in this whole 16-day period is Sunday morning, July the 5th at Warner Beach. It’s clean, it’s moderate, and it’s got good shape. There will be a few others around, and while crowds are possible, it’s worth getting out early.

Keep an eye on the glassy windows on the 17th, but don’t hold your breath – it’s a long way out.

Rusty.
