Alright, mates, Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots for you imperial lot.
Let's break down this 16-day run for our main spot, Wests and Seconds. It's a beach and reef setup, takes swell fairly well, and it's strictly for the experienced crew. Water's sitting at about 17° which is 62°F for you, and it's pretty much normal for the time of year. The energy in these swells will be solid, with combined readings over 2000 (moderate to strong energy) at times.
Starting off on Saturday the 4th of July afternoon, we've got a solid 7ft swell out of the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, combined energy at 2992. A cross-off breeze from the ENE keeps it clean. This is a top-notch session for the advanced guys, but that long period groundswell at a beachie can make things a bit unruly.
Sunday the 5th morning has a cleaner look with the swell dropping to 5ft at 15 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the NNE. It'll be clean and fun. That afternoon, the wind lightens up and the swell is 4ft. Monday the 6th morning is glassy with a 5 km/h NNE breeze and a waist-to-chest high 4ft swell at 15 seconds--perfect for a smooth session.
Tuesday the 7th brings the power back with another 7ft SSW swell at 17 seconds. Morning cross-off winds from the NE will have it clean, with energy at 2629. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th the swell eases but clean mornings with offshore winds remain.
Watch out for Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th–a 10ft swell rolls in but it's a short period, and fresh cross-onshore winds turn it into a lumpy mess. Not for paddling.
The King of this Forecast: Sunday the 12th of July afternoon. A colossal 13ft swell from the SSW, 14-second period, and the combined energy rockets to 9834. The wind is light cross-onshore at about 10 km/h (6 knots), so it's a little bumpy, but if you're charging big waves, this is a day to remember. Strictly for experts at that size, and the crowd is listed as "sometimes" so be ready to fight for your waves.
Monday the 13th is a back-to-back winner. Morning has a 8ft SSW swell at 16 seconds with a clean cross-off NW wind, then the afternoon goes absolutely glassy with no wind. Energy sits over 2300. A full day of quality.
The second week, from the 14th onward, the size steps down. Tuesday the 14th afternoon goes glassy again for a 6ft swell. From Wednesday the 15th to Friday the 17th, it's clean with offshore or cross-off winds but the swell drops from 5ft down to 3ft. Energy is in the low hundreds, so it's fun little waves but nothing epic.
The last weekend, the 18th and 19th, is a washout with onshore winds and poor conditions. Time to fix the dings.
The absolute standouts? The 13ft behemoth on Sunday the 12th afternoon, and the glassy, solid Monday the 13th.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Wests and Seconds can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wests and Seconds surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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 Wests and Seconds 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.
