The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. I’ve chewed through the numbers for West Dale, and it’s a real bummer, mate. Nothing worth paddling out for in the next 16 days.
We’re staring down a long, flat spell. The whole period is a washout. The waves barely touch 3 ft, and even then, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, gusting up to 22 mph, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. There’s a cleaner window from August 2nd through the 5th with some offshore wind, but the swell is tiny – 0.7 ft to 2 ft – with weak energy (between 17 and 55). It’s barely a bump. The water is 63°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Later on, around the 8th and 9th of August, we get a slight bump to 3 ft with a bit more energy (86), but the wind is back onshore and the period is short (7 seconds). It’s still no good. The longer period stuff (12 seconds) that shows up around the 7th and 12th is tiny, only 0.3 ft – just a ghost swell.
There are no standout sessions. No hidden gems. It’s flat, or close to it, the whole way. If you’re desperate for a float, maybe a longboard on a clean morning like the 2nd or 3rd, but don’t expect any waves. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the few days with any breeze.
Honestly, leave the board in the car, check back in a few days, and keep your hopes low.

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.
