The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s cookin’ at Westport-The Cove over the next sixteen days.
First up, Friday 28th August is a skunk. A tiny 2ft SW swell with a cross-on breeze – just messy. Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th aren’t any better: small, crossed up, and ugly. Monday 31st shows a 3ft WNW push but it’s onshore or cross-on, so no dice. That whole first stretch from Friday through Monday afternoon is a total loss.
Tuesday morning 1st September finally breaks the dry spell. The wind swings cross-offshore out of the SW and cleans it right up. Swell is a playful 3ft from the WNW with a short 9-second period, combined energy at 321 (moderate). Not powerful but totally rideable on something with volume.
Now, Wednesday 2nd September afternoon is the one. Swell jumps to 5ft from the WNW with a long 13-second period, combined energy hits 1103 (strong). Wind is cross-offshore from the SSW and it’s clean. That’s a proper groundswell – with that period it’ll wrap well at the jetty. Size is in the zone for experienced crew; beginners might find it a handful at 5ft. Best of the whole outlook, no question.
Thursday 3rd has 4ft to 5ft WNW but wind goes cross-on or onshore, so it’s ragged. Friday 4th September morning though – glassy, with a clean 3ft W swell, combined energy 354 (moderate). That’s a nice little session, small and clean.
Then it gets quiet. From Friday 4th afternoon through to Tuesday 8th the wind is mostly cross-on/onshore, swell sits between 2ft and 4ft, and combined energy fades. Choppy, average, not worth the drive. Wednesday 9th morning offers a brief clean window with 3ft WNW and light cross-offshore wind, but it’s tiny.
The final flicker comes Saturday 12th September morning. Glassy conditions, 3ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period. Combined energy is 392 (moderate). That long period will be clean as a whistle at the jetty with no wind. This one’s a long-range hopeful, but promising.
Water temp is about 62°F – a touch warmer than normal by around 2°F for this time of year, so it’s pretty comfortable.
No massive standouts for the experts, but if I had to call it, Wednesday 2nd September afternoon is the pick – clean, solid groundswell, strong energy. After that, Friday 4th morning glass and Saturday 12th morning glass are your alternates. Keep the fingers crossed for that last window.
Rusty.

Information about the Westport-The Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Westport-The Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Westport-The Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Westport-The Cove 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 (Westport-The Cove) 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 Westport-The Cove 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.
