The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles, same story.
We’re starting off a bit slow. The first real surf to get your board wet is Tuesday, 21st of July, at Sunset Beach Geraldron. It’s a beach and reef setup, open to the SW swell. Water temp is about 68°, which is normal for the season.
Tuesday afternoon brings a 5ft SW swell, with a 14-second period and moderate energy (799). The wind is a cross-off SE breeze, so it’ll be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but nothing to shout about.
Wednesday morning, 22nd of July, gets a little better. The swell rises to 5ft from the SW, with a 13-second period and moderate energy (816). The wind goes offshore from the ESE, making it clean. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions,” so that’s a good window.
Thursday afternoon, 23rd of July, is another highlight. The swell is 6ft from the SW, 14-second period, and energy is at 1196. The wind is a gentle offshore from the ESE, giving us clean, well-shaped waves. It’s excellent for experienced surfers.
Then we hit a quiet patch. From Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th, the swell drops to 3ft or less. There’s a glassy moment on Saturday afternoon (25th) with a 3ft SW swell and no wind, but the energy is low (396). Not a standout.
Now, the real deal kicks off Monday, 27th of July. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SW, 14-second period, and energy hits 1423. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the S, keeping it clean. The forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers,” and it holds through Tuesday morning, 28th, with a 6ft SW swell and 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell with good shape. Energy is 1475. This is the best window of the first week.
The second week turns serious. By Friday, 31st of July, the swell is pushing 8ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period and massive energy (3810). That’s big, long-period groundswell. The wind is cross-shore, and the wave comment says it may be too big for this break. Expert territory.
Saturday, 1st of August, sees the swell peak at 13ft from the SW, with 14-second period and extreme energy (5962). It’s a beast. The wind is strong and cross-off, but the forecast is clear: too big for the break. Only for the highly experienced.
After that, Sunday and Monday (2nd and 3rd of August) see the swell drop to 7ft to 8ft, with a mix of offshore and cross-off winds. Energy is still strong (1622 to 2878). The waves will be clean and powerful, still expert-level.
The best of the later runs is Tuesday afternoon, 4th of August, with a 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the SE. The wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers,” and energy is 1271. That’s a clean, well-shaped day.
Overall, the standout is the Monday 27th July to Tuesday 28th July window, with clean, groundswell in the 6ft to 6ft range and offshore winds. The second week is heavy and powerful, best left for the experts.
