Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Warner Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First thing to say, the water's sitting at 72°F – pretty much spot on for this time of year, no real surprises there.

Right out of the gate, we've got a big one. Sunday the 2nd is pumping with a solid 10ft SE groundswell. The combined energy is massive (2385), which tells you there's serious power in the water. That's expert territory for sure – way too much for anyone learning. The wind is a cross/offshore, so the faces will be clean. The only catch is, this is a ton of swell for this spot, and with that much juice, it could be a bit of a washing machine. Still, for the chargers, Sunday morning is the standout.

Monday the 3rd settles down a lot. We've got a clean 7ft SE swell left over, but with a light cross-onshore breeze. It'll be surfable for the strong intermediate crew, but nothing to write home about. The energy drops to 1094, which is moderate. From there, the week goes flat. Tuesday through to Friday next week are all small, weak, and mostly messy. We're looking at dribbly 2ft to 3ft waves with average periods. Not worth getting wet for.

Now, hang on. There's a glimmer. Saturday the 8th shows a 5ft ENE swell with a clean, cross-offshore wind. That's the best for the average surfer in the first week. It won't be epic, but it'll be clean and fun.

But then, hold onto your board. Sunday the 9th through Monday the 10th, the ocean remembers how to be angry. We get a 12ft to 13ft S and SSW groundswell rolling in, with periods stretching to 15 seconds (very long period). The energy numbers go bananas – 3663, 5548, even 9685 (very strong). This is not a beachbreak party; this is a reef/point break kind of swell. For Warner Beach, being an exposed beach, those long-period swells might just close out and break straight. The wind on Monday the 10th is a dreamy offshore, so if you've got the skills and the right board, it'll be a once-in-a-season session. For everyone else, stay on the sand.

After that, the second week turns ugly. Strong onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and dropping swell. There's a small window on Sunday the 16th with a 8ft NE swell and clean wind, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is moderate (873). It looks average at best.

Summary: The true standouts are Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 10th for experts only. For the everyday surfer, your best bet is Saturday the 8th. Be prepared for a lot of flat, windy days in between.

Rusty.
