Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's coming down the pipe for Warner Beach. The big story is that we're in for a bit of a flat spell to start, with hardly anything worth paddling out for over the next several days.

We've got a solid, long-period groundswell showing up early, but it’s going to take a while for the stars to align. Let’s walk through it.

Right now, and through the end of this week, it’s a write-off. The wind is just all wrong. That 7ft south swell on Friday 10th has a long 15-second period, but it’s coming in with an onshore breeze and the combined wave energy is still strong at 2055, but the conditions are described as marginal at best. It’s going to be messy. Saturday and Sunday are even worse, with dropping swell and cross-onshore wind chopping everything up. The combined energy drops right off into the low hundreds. Honestly, not worth a look.

We don't see any decent surf until Wednesday 15th. That's our first standout. Wednesday morning looks like the pick of the whole window. The wind goes completely glassy – dead calm from the east at 0 mph. We get a clean 7ft swell from the ESE with a 10-second period. The combined wave energy is a solid 811, giving it some push. It won't be too big to handle for a confident intermediate, and that offshore glass is going to make it smooth. Crowds are possible here, so get out early.

Thursday 16th is still pretty good. The swell drops to 5ft from the east, but it’s glassy again in the morning with a light ESE breeze at 3 mph. A great follow-up session, but that Wednesday morning is the real gem.

After that, things go quiet again. The size drops to 3ft and smaller, and the wind turns cross-shore or onshore for a run of days. A couple of weeks out, on Tuesday 22nd, we see another pulse. There's a 7ft swell from the ENE with a moderate period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 770, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE, so it should be clean. It’s a promising long-range call, but it’s two weeks away so take it with a grain of salt.

The last noteworthy event is on Saturday 25th July. A big 5ft south groundswell with a very long 16-second period rolls in. The combined energy is a powerful 1423, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NE, which could put a chop on it. That long period means it’s going to wall up and might be a bit straight for a beach break, but with good tide, it could have some grunt. Again, that's way out there, so we'll just have to keep an eye on it.

So, for the next 16 days: it’s a slow start, but Wednesday 15th morning is your best bet by a long shot. Hold out for that glass-off.

Rusty.
