The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming down the line for Westport-The Groins.
We’re looking at a bit of a slow start. For the next several days, conditions are pretty ordinary with small, weak swell and most of the time it’s choppy or messy. The waiting game is on.
We get a glimmer on the morning of Thursday, August 6th. That's where we finally see the tide turn. The morning of the 6th, the swell builds to 6ft from the WNW, pushed by a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW. That makes for clean lines and decent energy – the combined energy is moderate at 766. That afternoon holds similar, with 7ft WNW and clean conditions again (energy at 834). Friday the 7th is also looking strong, with 6ft waves and clean morning glass, though the energy drops a touch to 615. This little run is the clear standout. The water temp is sitting at 59°, right on the money for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The Groins is a fairly consistent spot, and this is a classic late-winter pulse. It won't be huge, but with these storm swells lining up, it'll offer some fun, rideable walls. The wind is your friend here for the first time in a while. The best of it will be the morning sessions on the 6th and 7th, maybe even into the afternoon of the 8th if the cross-offshore wind holds.
After that, the swell slowly fades through the second week, dropping to 4ft-4ft and the winds turn more cross onshore, so the quality won't be there. A couple of days around the 11th and 12th show a longer-period swell (15-13 seconds), but the wind is against us (fresh onshore and lumpy), making it more of a kite day than a paddle day.
So, circle those dates in early August. Patience pays off.
Rusty.

Information about the Westport-The Groins Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Westport-The Groins 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 Groins 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 Groins 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.
