Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line.

Honestly, the first few days are pretty average. We’ve got some bumpy conditions to sit through, but there’s a little window of clean surf further out, so hold tight.

Water temp is about 71°, right where it should be for this time of year, nothing crazy.

The go-to break here is Warner Beach. It’s a fairly consistent spot, open to the ESE.

Tuesday kicks things off with a 7ft swell out of the SE, but the wind’s from the SSW at 12 mph making for a choppy cross-shore. The combined swell energy is high (1522) but it’s not a pretty picture. Not worth suiting up.

Wednesday the swell holds around 7ft to 8ft from the ESE, but the wind is onshore. Better to wait.

Now, Thursday the 13th morning is the golden window. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph out of the ENE. Swell is a nice 6ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (532), and it’s calling for very good surf. This is the session to aim for. Not too big for intermediates.

After that, the NE winds pick up again through the weekend and into next week, making things bumpy again. Swell runs 4ft to 6ft. Crowds are a possibility at Warner Beach.

From Monday the 18th onward, onshore winds and lumpy seas move in. Swell sits under 6ft and the energy drops.

Then, way out on Monday the 24th, we get a strange one: 3ft swell from the south with a 19-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, and the energy behind it is big (1017). However, the wind is moderate cross and the direction isn't ideal. Something to watch, but don't book your trip around it.

The true standout is Thursday the 13th morning. That’s the clean, glassy session you want.

For the kite surfers out there, days with 5ft to 6ft swell and strong cross winds, like Saturday the 15th afternoon or Tuesday the 18th afternoon, might actually be more your speed.

Otherwise, just wait for that Thursday clean-up. That’s the one.

Rusty.
