Table - best surf conditions forecast for West Dale over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough one. We're looking at a pretty bleak 16-day window at West Dale. The waves just aren't showing up.
The whole forecast run is basically a write-off for any proper surfing. For the first few days, right through the weekend and into the start of the next week, we're talking tiny dribbles of swell. Thursday the 9th sees a tiny 1ft glassy wave, but it's so weak with a combined energy of just 19 that it's barely a ripple. The wind is calm, but there's just nothing to work with. Friday and Saturday stay the same story – small, weak swells with clean conditions but next to no power.
There's a long run of flat days from the 9th right through to the middle of the month. You'll be looking at a solid week of nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 61°, but that's the only highlight.
The only real glimmer of hope comes much later. Around Tuesday the 21st of July, we see a tiny bump. It's still small, with a 3ft swell from the WSW, but the combined energy climbs to 64. It's still "poor surf conditions" so don't get your hopes up. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but those 6-second periods from the WSW are pretty weak and jumbled. It's not going to be a standout by any stretch, just maybe the least terrible option in a very long, quiet spell.
For the rest of the run, it's just more of the same – small, weak swells and clean but cross-off winds. There's nothing here that's going to get anyone excited. It's a frustrating forecast for a stretch that usually delivers more. Keep the board in the car, but be ready to go for a swim instead.
Rusty.

Information about the West Dale Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for West Dale provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at West Dale can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our West Dale 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 (West Dale) 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 West Dale 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.
