Alright folks, Rusty here. Looking at the charts for West Dale, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for until we get deep into the second week.
The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might feel a little nicer, but that’s about the only bright spot for a while.
From Friday the 3rd right through to almost the end of the second week, it’s a ghost town. The wave energy is weak—mostly bouncing between 11 and 143 (combined energy), with the swell tiny, period all over the place, and wind just not playing ball. Most of the time it’s onshore or cross-onshore, and even when it goes clean, there’s nothing in the water to ride. It’s a solid 15-day stretch of “poor surf conditions” before anything even raises an eyebrow.
Finally, on Saturday the 18th, we get a little flicker of hope. That morning, we see a bump in swell to 5 ft from the WSW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the North at 12 mph. The energy picks up to 208 (moderate energy), and it’s the first time in ages where it’s not a total write-off. But keep your expectations in check—it’s still rated as marginal, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so those waves will be a bit fat and crumbly. This is really only a chance for the keen locals to get a few grovelly ones, not a day to get excited about.
So, if you’re itching for a paddle, that Saturday the 18th morning is your only real shot across the whole 16 days. Otherwise, grab a coffee, watch the cams, and hope the forecasts shift.
Rusty.

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.

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.
