G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what the ocean’s doin’ for Westport-The Cove (beach/jetty) – and it’s a tough one to get excited about.
Right from the start on Sunday the 5th of July, we’re fightin’ a 25 km/h NW cross-onshore wind that’s rippin’ the surface apart. Swell’s around 4ft from the WNW with a short 8 second period, and the combined swell energy is 395 – weak to moderate – but the comment says “poor surf conditions.” That sets the tone for the whole run. Monday the 6th bumps to a 4ft WNW swell and 10 second period, energy jumps to 617 (moderate), but that persistent cross-onshore wind at 25 km/h just kills it. Choppy, messy, no good.
Tuesday the 7th morning brings a 2ft SW swell with a very long 16 second period and a lighter cross wind at 15 km/h – marginal, but the size is tiny and tide could be a problem. That same marginal chance shows up Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, and Friday the 10th mornings with 2–3ft SW swells and long periods (16–18 seconds), but the wind’s still cross-onshore or cross, and the wave comment tags it all as “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” The energy readings stay in the moderate range (373–580), but it’s not enough to call it a session.
From Saturday the 11th through to Monday the 20th of July, we’re stuck in a pattern of 1–4ft WNW and W swells with periods from 8 to 20 seconds, but the wind’s almost always cross-onshore from the NW at 15–30 km/h. The only brief shift comes Friday the 17th morning: a 4ft WNW swell, 9 second period, combined energy 634 (moderate), and the wind goes cross at 15 km/h with a light cross-shore and slight chop. That’s the absolute best on offer, and it’s still just “marginal surf forecast.”
Water temp is 57°F – that’s 2°F colder than average, so you’ll feel the bite.
There’s an 8-day dry spell with no real recommendation in the first week, and the rest is a grind. This spot is fairly consistent, so the empty forecast is a bit of a bummer – but these things can flip. For now, the only window that might give you something rideable is Friday the 17th morning, and it’s a long shot. With all that cross-onshore wind and lumpy water, it’s more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle session.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, but don’t rush out. Rusty out.

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.
