The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into Bethune Beach.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, we are looking at a pretty flat and quiet spell. There's nothing on the cards that’s going to get the heart pumping. The swell energy is weak across the whole run, with readings mostly sitting in the double digits. The first chunk of days through the end of July and into early August is mostly a write-off for any decent waves. The first real glimmer happens around Wednesday morning, July 29th, where we see a brief change.
If you're desperate for a paddle, Wednesday afternoon on the 29th is your best bet. The wind goes glassy, which is a major win for clean conditions, and we get a tiny pulse of 2ft swell from the ESE with a combined energy of 84. It's not surf you'd write home about, but it’s clean and surfable. The crowd factor is only sometimes an issue here, so you might have a bit of room.
Prior to that, the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd, offers 2ft from the ESE with a clean cross-off wind, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the energy is a weak 69. It’s small and average. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
After that Wednesday 29th afternoon glass-off, we're back into tiny dribble for the rest of the run, with swells dropping to 1ft and energy levels falling into the single digits. There's nothing else that even qualifies as a standout. The best advice is to keep the board in the car and check back later, because this stretch is a real snoozer.
Rusty.

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.
