The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a flat and frustrating stretch. We’ve got a long, dry spell of nothing worth paddling out for starting from the 31st of July all the way through Friday, August 8th. Tiny waves, cross-onshore wind, and generally just a messy, hopeless scene. You might see a ripple, but it's not gonna get your heart racing.
The first little flicker of hope shows up on Saturday morning, August 8th, at West Dale. It's small, but the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 0.7m swell from the SW. The combined energy is weak at 54, but that glassy surface will make it look clean. It breaks "fairly consistent," and you might get a few waves to yourself, though it can get "sometimes" crowded. For a beginner, that 0.7m is fine, but don't expect any punch.
Then Sunday morning, August 9th, is a touch better. The wind swings clean cross-offshore from the SE, and the swell is still 0.7m from the SW, but with a slightly longer period (9 seconds) and a bit more energy (84). It’s still ordinary, but it’s the cleanest we’ll get. That’s the best on offer.
After that, the second week is a total washout. From the 10th of August on, the swell dies, the wind gets messy, and we’re back to tiny, weak, poor-quality waves. The only slight glimmer is Thursday morning, August 14th, with a 1.0m swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is straight onshore. It’s a no-go.
So, the standout in this whole 16-day window is the Saturday morning (August 8th) and Sunday morning (August 9th) at West Dale. It’s clean, but it’s tiny. If you're itching for a paddle and a few little waves, that's your window. Otherwise, it's just a waiting game.
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.
