Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

What's up, crew? Rusty here. We've got a solid 16-day window, but it's a slow starter. The first few days are small, and then there's a lot of messy wind in the middle. But hold on to your wetsuit, because the end of the run is looking like a proper score.

The first real session is this Saturday afternoon at Warner Beach. It's tiny, a clean 2ft from the S. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the water's at 72°, which is pretty normal for the time of year. The combined energy is weak (382), so it's a mellow log or funboard session.

Sunday morning sees a bump to 6ft from the SSE, with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (966). The wind is a light cross-shore, so it's not perfect, but it's workable. The afternoon is similar, with a bit more energy (1043).

Monday and Tuesday get a bit bigger, but the wind gets messy. Monday morning hits 7ft from the SSE, but the cross-on wind makes it choppy. The energy is strong (1261). Tuesday morning is the pick of the early week. The swell drops to 5ft from the SE, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore, cleaning it up. The energy is moderate (627). It's a good session, but not a standout.

The rest of the week into the weekend is a write-off. Strong winds, lumpy chop, and crummy conditions. The 23rd of July has a 22 mph SSW wind that'll ruin things. There's a brief window on the 27th of July (Monday afternoon) with a 3ft S swell and a clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is moderate (623).

Now, the real highlight. Mark your calendar for Sunday, August 2nd. The morning session is looking absolutely epic. We've got a 7ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period, and the energy is massive (1634). The wind is glassy, dead flat. This is a dream day. The swell is over 5ft, so it's for the experienced crew only. The long period will make it a bit straight at the beach, but the clean conditions will make it world-class. The afternoon gets a bit dicey with a cross-on wind, but the morning is the definitive winner.

The rest of the second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 1st of August (Saturday morning) has a 5ft ESE swell with a clean cross-offshore wind, but it's not in the same league. The 2nd of August is the only true standout.

So, get your board ready for that Sunday morning. The rest of the time, it's about picking your windows. The run of poor conditions in the middle of the week is pretty normal for this area. The forecast can always change, and when it's on, it's on.

Rusty.
