Table - best surf conditions forecast for West Dale over the next 16 days.
Alright, switching over for my US crew now.
West Dale is looking pretty bleak for a while. We’ve got a big stretch of near-nothing surf from now all the way until the end of July. Most days are just tiny 0.3ft to 1ft slop with maybe a clean window in the morning, but the energy is way too low to get excited about.
The one real bright spot is Sunday, July 26th. That morning, we finally get a pulse of surf—right around 6ft from the west, with glassy conditions and light rain. That’s the biggest swell we see in the whole 16 days, and the combined energy hits 286, which is moderate but still respectable. The period is around 7 seconds so it’s not a groundswell but it’ll have some punch. At that size, it’s best left to the experienced guys. West Dale is an exposed spot and faces into SW swells best, so this westerly will still work but not at its absolute peak.
The rest of the run is pretty much a wipeout. You get a few mornings with offshore breezes on the 20th and 21st, but the waves are only 2ft to 2ft at best. The 20th is the first time we even get a “surfable” call. Other than that, it’s all tiny junk or onshore chop.
So if you’re hanging for a wave, aim for that Sunday the 26th morning session. It’s the only standout in a long, quiet stretch. That’s just how it goes here sometimes.

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.
