The Lowdown
Alright mates, let’s talk surf.
We’ve got a slow start here – first four days or so are nothing special. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd have small, clean waves for a learner, but not worth rushing for.
The standout window kicks off Thursday the 3rd of September. Westport-The Cove in the morning has a clean 6ft swell out of the WNW, with glassy conditions – dead flat, no wind. That’s the best you’re gonna see. Water temp’s about average at 59°F, nothing out of the ordinary. Combined swell energy sits at 509, moderate, and the period is around 9 seconds, so you’ll get some shape but expect longer waits between sets. The cove’s a beach/jetty setup, so the longer period might make it a little straight, but glass makes everything better.
Thursday afternoon and all of Friday the 4th are blown out with onshore wind. Then Saturday the 5th of September finishes the run with a clean 2ft swell from the SW, offshore breeze both morning and afternoon. Combined energy is moderate at 329 and 323 – small but clean. Crowds are possible, but it’s a fairly consistent spot, so you might have company.
Beginners can enjoy the small stuff early on, but for everyone else, that glassy September 3rd morning is the one to circle.

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.
