Zenith Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a pretty quiet start at Zenith Beach, so don’t rush down there just yet. The beginning of the week is looking ordinary with small, weak swells and pretty average conditions. The first few days are definitely not worth the trip.

Things start to show a bit of promise on the morning of Tuesday the 11th. The swell bumps up to 4.6 ft from the SSW with a 13-second period, and we’ve got a fresh offshore breeze from the west. The combined wave energy hits 730 – that’s moderate energy starting to build. It’s still a bit marginal, but the clean conditions are a nice change. The afternoon stays similar with 4.9 ft swell and moderate offshore winds, energy up to 864. Not epic, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Now, the real standout – and I mean the one you’ll want to circle on the calendar – is Friday the 14th. From the morning, we’ve got 7.5 ft of south swell with a 12-second period, clean conditions thanks to a gentle cross-offshore breeze, and the combined wave energy is a massive 1502. That’s strong. The afternoon gets even better: 8.2 ft S swell, light cross-offshore wind, and energy readings of 2695 – that’s very strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The water temperature is sitting at 64.9°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit unless you’re fussy.

Saturday the 15th still has some decent leftovers with 4.6 ft S swell and clean conditions, but the energy drops to 412. After that, the swell drops off again, and we get a few days of messy, smaller waves.

Don’t sleep on the morning of Thursday the 20th either. By then, we’ve got 6.2 ft SSE swell with a nice 11-second period, light cross-offshore breeze, and energy of 1063 – strong. It’s clean, and while it’s a bit further out, it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Overall, Friday the 14th is your best bet: solid, clean, and powerful. Get out there if you can handle it.
