The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what’s happening at Westport for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the surf is small but you can get a wave at Westport-The Cove. Water temp is 59°, a little below average for August, but nothing wild. We’ve got about 2ft of swell from the SW, long 15-second period, and that cross-off wind from the WSW is keeping things clean. Not a standout, but it’s rideable.
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday are quiet, but Wednesday morning shows a 3ft W swell with the same clean cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate, around 329.
Thursday 20th August is the one to circle. You’re looking at a 4ft WNW swell with a good 11-second period and light offshore wind. The combined energy is a solid 504. That’s clean, well-shaped surf and easily the best of the first week.
Friday and Saturday drop back a little, but you’ll still find waist-high waves with clean conditions. Fun, but not epic.
From Sunday 23rd August through to Wednesday 26th, it’s pretty grim. The wind turns onshore from the NW and messes up what little swell there is. Small and choppy – not worth it.
Thursday 27th August brings a change with a clean offshore wind from the S, and a 2ft SW groundswell that has some energy. But Friday 28th August morning is the real gem: light offshore from the SSW, 3ft of WNW swell, and glassy conditions. That’s a dawn patrol winner.
The start of September offers a little more hope. Tuesday 1st September morning has 4ft of WNW swell and clean offshore wind from the SSW. Small, but super clean.
Best bets: the morning of Thursday 20th August and the morning of Friday 28th August. If you’re only going once, those are your windows.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Westport-The Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
