WavesTotal sea height offshore: groundswell plus local wind chop.

SwellThe groundswell that wraps into the point. Longer period means more power; 12 s and up is when JBay lights up.

2nd swellA smaller, second swell train from another direction. It can add peaks or make the line-up messy.

WindSW to W is offshore at Supers and grooms the walls. NE to SE is onshore and blows it out.

Tides

High and low tide, next 5 days.

The tide curve comes from a global ocean model, not a harbour tide gauge. Times can be out by up to an hour and the real range is bigger than shown. Check the SA Navy tide tables when it matters.

The week ahead

7-day outlook.

Forecast: Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0). Swell is a model of the open ocean, not a surf report; the point refracts and shrinks it. Kurt will tell you where it's breaking.
