The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let’s break it down in feet and miles. West Dale is looking like a long, flat start. For nearly four days – from Monday the 7th through Thursday the 10th of September – there is zilch going on. Onshore wind is shredding any chance of a wave. Don't even bother.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday morning, the 11th of September. We’ve got a 5ft swell out of the WSW with a solid 9-second period. The combined energy hits 311 – a moderate, punchy level. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the north, and the report calls it clean. That morning session is hands down the best slot in the whole outlook. It’s a short window though; by Friday afternoon the wind swings and it gets choppy again.
After that, it’s back to the grinder. There is a brief moment of calm on Tuesday morning the 15th of September – glassy conditions with zero wind and a 4ft WSW swell. But the energy is weak (140) and it’s barely surfable. You’d need a longboard and low expectations.
Looking further out, Thursday the 17th of September throws up big numbers: an 12ft W groundswell with a 10-second period, giving us a massive 2825 energy reading. That’s big, powerful, expert-only stuff. But the wind is screaming onshore at 25 mph from the WSW, with rain. It’ll be a messy, blown-out nightmare, honestly more suited to kite surfing than paddling in. The crowd factor at West Dale can be an issue on clean days, but with this weather, you’ll probably have the whole place to yourself – for good reason.
Stick with Friday morning the 11th – that’s your one standout session.

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.

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.
