Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening in our stretch. Gotta be straight up with you – this is a quiet spell. Really quiet. We’ve got a small, long-period groundswell trickling in from the south-southwest, but the wave energy is weak, and the conditions just aren't coming together for a proper session for most of the next two weeks.
The swell energy picks up a little through Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th, peaking around 638 (moderate energy) on the 7th afternoon, but even then, the waves are only 0.9m and the period is a long 18 seconds. That long period will make this spot, a point break, actually work reasonably well, but the size is tiny. The window that looks best is Tuesday the 7th afternoon, with that 0.9m SSW swell, 18-second period, and clean conditions from a cross-offshore WNW breeze at 20 km/h. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the most rideable we’ll see. Wednesday the 8th morning is also alright, with the same swell size and light cross-shore winds, but the period drops a notch.
The water is a notable 20°, which is 3° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s significantly warmer, so you won’t need a thick suit.
After the 9th, things get messy. Winds start turning onshore and choppy from the 10th through the 15th, with the swell dropping below 0.8m. Zero quality options for a solid run of days. We do see a tiny pulse of energy again around Sunday the 19th, but it’s still a marginal 0.6m swell with a moderate period, and the wind tries to play nice with a cross-offshore breeze. It’s not enough to get excited about.
Look, there’s nothing worth paddling out for as a serious option. The break is an inconsistent point, and rarely breaks, which fits this pattern. We’re in a flat spell. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, you might be better off doing something else.
Stay patient.

Information about the Zero Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Zero provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Zero can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zero 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. If you surf the same spot (Zero) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Zero 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.
