Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s talk Bethune Beach. Over the next 16 days, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking lean. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year at 84°F.
We kick off on Saturday the 4th with a wave maybe shin-high, 1ft from the ESE. Morning is glassy, but there’s no push behind it, with weak energy (37). Afternoon goes cross. All of it is “poor surf conditions.”
Sunday the 5th morning drops to 1ft, clean and light offshore, but the energy is a paltry 19. This flat, weak pattern carries through to Wednesday the 9th. Heights barely tickle 2ft – it’s a lot of nothing.
Thursday the 9th morning is the first flicker of hope. We get 2ft with glassy conditions and a light offshore breeze, energy jumps to 50. The forecast calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we’ve got so far.
Friday the 10th morning is similar: 2ft, glassy, energy at 59. Still small, but at least the wind is right. The afternoon swells to 3ft but the wind goes cross and messes it up.
Then we hit a dry spell. Saturday the 11th through Tuesday the 14th is a repeat of tiny, poor-quality surf. Winds are all over the place, periods are short.
Honestly, the only times worth mentioning are the mornings of Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th. Light winds, clean faces, and moderate energy for what it is. But it’s still very small.
The second week is a total write-off. From Thursday the 16th onwards, it’s all onshore wind, short period slop, and consistently called “poor.” No standouts there.
For now, this is a long stretch with barely a ripple. If the forecast holds, you’re not missing much. Things can change, but today there’s nothing to get stoked about.

Information about the Bethune Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bethune Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bethune Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bethune Beach 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 (Bethune Beach) 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 Bethune Beach 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.
