Bethune Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Bethune Beach (United States) over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – we're in for a pretty flat, quiet run. The combined swell energy is very weak across the board, mostly sitting between 15 and 96, so we're in a lull. Don't expect any heroics, just small, clean conditions if you time it right.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit.

Looking at Friday the 3rd, there's a tiny window. It's small, with waves around 2ft coming from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds. But the wind is glassy in the morning, making for a clean surface, even if it's a bit gutless. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy as the seabreeze kicks in. Nothing special, but you could get a few knee-high dribblers to yourself.

Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are pretty much a write-off – super small, under 1ft, with poor conditions and mixed wind. Not worth paddling out for.

The pick of the litter, if you can call it that, is Thursday the 9th. We've got the best combined energy of the whole run at 96, with waves hitting 3ft from the ESE. The morning is glassy, which will be a dream on the surface. It's still small and for beginners, but if you want the cleanest possible 2-foot day, that's your window.

After that, it's more of the same. Friday the 10th has a 3ft swell, but it's a short, weak 4-second period with bumpy cross-shore wind – looks like it'll be more of a mess than anything. Maybe fun for a kite surfer in the afternoon, but not for a paddle surfer.

The following week continues the pattern of tiny, weak swells. From the 11th through the 18th, we see occasional mornings with clean, offshore glass or light wind, but the waves are consistently under 2ft. Tuesday the 14th afternoon shows a bump to 2ft, but it's weak with a cross-off breeze. The final few days, like Friday the 17th morning, offer another 3ft option with clean wind, but nothing has the power to get you excited.

Realistically, there's no standout session here. It's a two-week stretch of flat to small conditions. For the best chance of a clean, tiny wave, aim for the mornings with light wind, especially Thursday the 9th.

Rusty.
