The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days for Bethune Beach are lookin' lean. We're talkin' a real dry spell, with nothin' that's gonna get a surfer out of bed. The wave energy is just pathetic, and the wind is all over the place, mostly makin' a mess of the tiny bumps we got. The only flicker of a chance is on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. You'll get a glassy, clean surface with a little 2ft swell from the east, but the combined energy is a measly 44. It's a knee-high dribbler at best. The water is about 83°F, which is normal for July, so at least the temperature is fine.
After that, it's a long, slow fade into nothing. The rest of the first week and all of the second week offer up waves that are barely a ripple, 1ft or less. You'll see a few glassy mornings, like on the 1st of August and the 5th of August, but with no swell to back 'em up, it's just a flat, pretty ocean. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this is a proper bust. Kite surfers might have a better time on a windy afternoon, but for us paddle surfers? This is a hard pass.

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.
