The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same rundown in feet and miles per hour.
So, for the next week and a half, it’s a lot of nothing much. The waves are small, the wind is mostly blowing sideways or onshore, and the energy is just not there. Combined energy readings are mostly between 100 and 399, showing moderate wave energy that never actually turns into good surf. Swell heights are tiny, between 1 ft and 3 ft. The water temp is about normal for the time of year around this spot.
If you’re itching to get wet, Saturday afternoon (12th September) is surfable but nothing special. Swell is only 2 ft from the SSW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze blowing at 9 mph. Energy is weak (184). It’s clean, but tiny.
The one day that stands out is Thursday afternoon (17th September). We’ll see a small bump to 2.3 ft from the SSW, but the key is that clean cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph. Combined energy hits 334. For this 16-day outlook, that’s the closest we get to decent. The long period (15 seconds) will give it some shape and a little push. This break is known to be inconsistent, so catching a clean little wave that afternoon is your best bet.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions right through to Friday morning (25th September) with rain showers and nasty wind. Honestly, if you’re set on a session, aim for that Thursday afternoon, but don’t expect much. Otherwise, it’s a long flat spell.

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.
