Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the line for Warner Beach. It’s a bit of a rough start, but we’ve got a couple of sessions that are worth circling on the calendar.

The first half of this 16-day window is a write-off, to be honest. We’re looking at strong winds, messy conditions, and a lot of poor surf out there. From Monday the 27th of July right through to Saturday the 1st of August, it’s one big wall of cross-onshore and lumpy junk. There’s a bit of energy in the water, with the combined swell energy hitting 1526 (moderate to strong) on the 30th, but it’s pinned to a fresh 30 km/h cross-shore wind, so it’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth your time.

Then we hit a real gap. Nothing worth paddling for Sunday the 1st of August afternoon, and the whole of Monday the 2nd is a slow grind. But hold on.

The standout – and I mean the only proper one in the whole run – is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. This is the one. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 5 km/h offshore from the west. The swell is a solid 6 ft out of the ESE, with a 9-second period (moderate energy at 572). That’s going to set up some clean, lined-up walls at Warner Beach. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. The break is fairly consistent, but with the offshore wind and solid swell, it's going to be worth the look. Just keep in mind that crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

After that, things get messy again. There’s a small window on Tuesday the 4th of August morning with a 4 ft ESE swell and a 25 km/h cross-offshore wind, which will keep it clean, but the energy is low (298) and the swell is small. It’s a marginal session at best.

By the 11th of August, we see another promising morning. The 11th of August Tuesday morning has a 3 ft south swell at 12 seconds (groundswell), with a light 5 km/h offshore from the north. The combined energy is 346, which is weak, but the clean conditions and long period will give you some fun, peelers if you’re patient. It’s a late call, so don’t lock it in too early.

Honestly, Sunday the 2nd is the clear winner. Everything else is a fight against the wind.

That’s the long and short of it. Rusty.
