G’day, this is Rusty. Lookin’ at the next couple of weeks here at Westport-The Cove, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The surf’s not gonna be firing every day, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get you wet. The water’s sittin’ at 57°F right now, which is about 1°F cooler than usual for this time of year, so nothin’ too wild, just a bit fresher than average.
The story starts off rough. Wednesday the 8th through Friday the 10th are all cross-on winds and choppy, with tiny swell around 3ft. Nothin’ worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of something decent comes on Saturday the 11th. That’s the standout. The morning has a gentle offshore breeze from the SSW, cleanin’ things up nicely, with a 4ft swell from the WNW. The wave energy is decent at 466, and it’s got a 10-second period, so plenty of push. The afternoon holds up too, with a light WSW breeze and a 4ft swell, still from the WNW. The combined energy climbs to 504. This is the best session on offer—clean, shoulder-high, and fun. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
After that, it falls apart a bit. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are messy with cross-onshore winds again. But then, Tuesday the 14th morning brings another clean window. A light offshore from the SSW, 4ft swell from the west, and a short 8-second period. The energy’s moderate at 273. It’s not the best quality, but it’s clean and rideable. The afternoon is also clean with a light breeze, but the swell drops to 3ft and the period shortens to 7 seconds.
From Wednesday the 15th onward, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind ramps up from the NW, mostly cross-onshore, and the swell bounces between 2ft and 6ft, but it’s all chopped up and messy. The 20th and 21st of July show a pulse of 5ft to 6ft swell from the WNW, but with onshore winds and short periods under 9 seconds, it’s a bumpy, blown-out mess. The energy readings are moderate, but the wind kills it. This setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
The only real standout is Saturday the 11th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Clean, offshore winds, and chest-to-shoulder-high sets. The 14th is a decent backup if you’re desperate for a midweek paddle. The rest of the forecast is a long wait for improvement.
Rusty.

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.
