Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk West Dale.
It’s a tough forecast. The wave energy is flat across the board. All the combined swell energy readings are under 100 (most are in the teens, twenties, or thirties), which is weak. The first week – from Monday 6 July through Sunday 12 July – there’s basically nothing. Swell heights are tiny, period short, and the wind is messy. Even the glassy mornings on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th only give you 0.2m to 0.3m – not enough to surf. No standouts.
The second week shows a slight pulse. On Monday 13 July, we get a very long period groundswell from the SW with a 19-second period, but it’s only 0.1m. Energy is still low (23-25). The best in the whole period comes Tuesday morning, 14 July: 0.3m from the SW, period 18 seconds, with clean cross-offshore wind from the E. That is your best shot – but it’s tiny. Wednesday 15 July morning has 0.3m from the WSW with clean offshore ENE wind.
The best on offer: Tuesday morning, 14 July. Swell 0.3m from the SW, period 18 seconds, clean cross-offshore breeze. Water temp is about normal for this time of year at 61°.
Honestly, it’s a dry spell. West Dale is an exposed SW spot, but there’s no swell energy to work with. Not for beginners, not for experts. You might as well keep the board in the car for a couple of weeks.

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.
