Zero Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, we’ve got a tricky run ahead. The upcoming window is looking pretty marginal all the way through. There’s nothing that’s going to get your heart racing, but there are a couple of moments where you might just get a fun little slide.

We start off Monday the 6th with a small pulse. The break is called "Zero," a point break that rarely breaks. It’s got an exposed setup and likes the swell from the SSW. Monday afternoon you are looking at clean waves around 1.6 ft thanks to a cross-off WNW breeze at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (431) and the water temp is sitting at 66.7°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a pretty nice surprise if you’re getting in.

Tuesday morning the 7th sees the swell bumping up to about 3.0 ft from the SSW, with a long period of 18 seconds. That’s a groundswell. The wind is cross-shore at 9 mph, and the wave energy is moderate (531). The break is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so you have to be patient. The crowds are possible here. This early morning session is your first real standout. Not huge, but that long period will give you some push and shape. The water is still that warmer-than-normal anomaly.

Wednesday morning the 8th holds similar 3.0 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. Wind is light cross-shore and the water is clean. Another decent window if you can get out before the wind changes. The combined energy is still moderate (512). This is likely your best bet of the first week. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s rideable and clean.

From Thursday the 9th through to Friday the 17th, it’s pretty grim. The swell drops all the way down to around 1.3 ft, the wind gets messy, and the scores are poor. We are looking at a big gap of over a week with no real recommendations. The waves are tiny and weak, and the conditions are onshore or cross-onshore for most of it. Not worth paddling out for.

Things change a little on Saturday the 18th. A new pulse of around 2.6 ft swell arrives from the SSE, but it’s from a different direction (SSE, not the optimum SSW). The period is long at 18 seconds, and the energy jumps to strong (629) on Saturday morning. But the wind is onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy. Sunday the 19th has a 3.0 ft SSE swell with moderate energy (596), but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph from the SE, making it choppy.

This second week pulse is the only other thing on the radar, but it’s looking less clean. The best chance in this whole 16-day stretch is really those early mornings on the 7th and 8th of July. The rest is a waiting game.
