The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Look, it’s been a bit quiet around here, but there's some hope on the horizon. We've got a few days of nothing much to start, then a few windows of clean conditions if you're patient.
Right now, we're looking at a pretty poor run. The surf is tiny and the winds are messy. Saturday afternoon (12 September) is a write-off with a weak 3 ft SW swell and a cross-off breeze, but the energy is moderate at 412. The water temp is 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Sunday (13 September) and Monday (14 September) morning are still small and junky, though Monday morning shows a slight improvement with a 3 ft WNW swell and light winds.
The real problem is the wind. From Monday afternoon right through to Tuesday (22 September), it's almost all cross-onshore or onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. There's some energy around – Tuesday afternoon (22 September) has strong energy (653) – but it's not worth paddling out in that chop.
Now, things start to turn around on Wednesday morning (23 September). The wind goes offshore from the south, and we get a clean 4 ft W swell with moderate energy (577). That’s a nice setup for the cove. Thursday (24 September) is also looking good with clean offshore winds and a 3 ft W swell. This stretch is the best on offer, with gentle offshore breezes keeping the faces smooth. The swell is small but clean, perfect for a beginner-friendly wave.
Further out, Sunday morning (27 September) looks promising with a 4 ft WNW groundswell (13-second period) and light cross-off winds, and strong energy (511). That’s a standout in the long-range – cleaner, with more push, but keep an eye on it as we get closer.
Overall, there are a few windows of clean surf if you’re keen to wait. The early part of the week is a write-off, but Wednesday to Thursday looks like the best bet for a session. Later in the month there's some promise too.

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.
