Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what West Dale (West-Dale) has cookin' for us.
Mate, I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell. The next couple of weeks are looking real quiet. We've got a stretch from now through to the end of the 16-day window where the swell is just tiny and there's no real energy coming through. The combined swell energy is stuck on low values, mostly between 9 and 56, which is weak.
We kick things off on Tuesday the 7th of July, but it's a non-starter. We're looking at a tiny 1ft of westerly swell with a short period, cross-on wind, and the report already says 'poor surf conditions' – I'm not even gonna bother paddling out for that.
This flat spell basically runs straight through. We get a few moments where the wind cleans up – there's a glassy moment on the morning of Thursday the 9th of July, and a few clean offshore mornings like Sunday the 12th, Monday the 13th, and Tuesday the 14th of July, but the swell is pitiful: just 0.3ft to 1ft. The swell direction is coming from the SW, which is the opposite of the optimum SW direction for the break. Even with the wind in our favor, there's nothing to ride.
The water temp is 61°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but it doesn't change the fact that the surf is flat.
As we get into the second week, it's more of the same. There's a slight bump to 2ft on the 18th and 19th of July, but with a period of just 6-7 seconds, it's weak, gutless, and choppy. The combined energy finally hits 42 on the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd of July, but that's from a 3ft NW windswell with a 4-second period – absolute rubbish, just wind bumps. The wind is howling at 30 km/h from the N, so it'll be clean but won't have a single wave worth paddling for.
Honestly, this is a blank run. For the whole 16 days, there's not a single moment I can honestly recommend getting wet. It's just one of those periods for West Dale. Grab a coffee, watch the horizon, and hope the forecasts change.
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.
