Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for us over the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at a pretty quiet period overall, I gotta be honest. The energy is just not there for any proper sessions. The first real chance for a surf doesn't show up until Monday, July 7th, but even then, it's a real struggle. We're looking at a few days with a bit of marginal swell, but it's not going to be anything to write home about. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 69° to be specific.
The standout session in this whole 16-day window, if you can call it that, is shaping up to be Tuesday morning, July 8th. Windansea is the only break on the menu, and it's a tricky one. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the SW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That long period gives it a bit of grunt for a small wave, but it's a groundswell, so it might be breaking a bit straight on the reef. The combined energy is moderate at 879. The wind is a light cross-onshore at 6 mph, which is a bit of a bummer, but it's light enough that it won't totally ruin it. It's still only a marginal call, so don't expect perfection. This spot is an advanced reef break and can get pretty crowded, so be ready for that.
After that, the surf just fades away again. The rest of the week and into the second week is a mix of poor surf and marginal conditions, with the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell drops right off, with heights struggling to reach 2 ft or 2 ft. There's a little blip on Thursday, July 16th, with a 4 ft swell from the W, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is messy, so it's a no-go for surfing. Expect a long dry spell from around July 10th right through until the end of the forecast on July 20th, with nothing worth paddling out for.
So, to be blunt, the best we've got is a very small window on Tuesday morning, July 8th, for a marginal, clean-ish wave. It's not great, but it's the only game in town. The water is a bit warmer than usual, but that's about the only positive.
Rusty out.

Information about the Windansea Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Windansea provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Windansea can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Windansea 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 Windansea 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.
