Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check out what Warner Beach has cookin’.
The next few days are pretty quiet. Monday and Tuesday have some small waves, but the wind is messy, and there’s just not enough energy to get excited about. Best to keep the board in the car.
The first real highlight is Wednesday morning, July 13th. The water temp is 22°, about average for the season. You’ll see a clean 1.8m swell out of the SSW with a glassy surface. The combined energy is moderate (702), making for a lovely session if you’re intermediate level. Just be aware, it can get a crowd here.
Then, look at Wednesday morning, July 15th. This is the big one – a solid 2.1m south swell with a 11-second period, packing a punch. The wind is light and cross-off, giving you clean faces. The combined energy is strong (1052), so this is for the experienced guys. That longer period means it might wall up a bit on the beach, but in these conditions, it’ll still be a good time.
After that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions with onshore winds and chop right through the rest of the second week. There’s a gap of several days with nothing worth chasing. Not a great run for consistency.
Rusty.

Information about the Warner Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Warner Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Warner Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Warner Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Warner Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Warner Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
