Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Bethune Beach for the next couple of weeks.
For the first week and a half, it’s pretty much a flat spell. Swell sits around 1ft to 2ft, and even with some glassy mornings, the waves are just too weak to get stoked about. Water temp is a warm 84°, right about average for the time of year. Wave energy is low (16 to 50) through the start, and even when we see a bump on Thursday the 9th with a 2ft ESE swell, it’s still just "surfable but very ordinary." The wind plays nice sometimes, but there’s no size to go with it.
Things stay quiet until we get into the second week. Around Sunday the 19th, there’s a little pulse – a 3ft swell from the SE on the 19th morning (energy 61), but the period is short at 5 seconds, so it’ll be weak. That afternoon, we finally get a slight lift with a 3ft ESE swell, 8-second period, and glassy conditions (energy 107). That’s the best moment in the whole run, but it’s still small. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep that 3ft range, with offshore winds from the SW making it clean, but the period stays under 8 seconds, so waves will be lumpy and lack punch. Energy climbs to 97 and then 102, but it’s nothing to write home about.
If you’re keen for a paddle, aim for that Sunday the 19th afternoon or Monday the 20th morning, but keep expectations in check. The break is inconsistent, and crowds can show up sometimes. For beginners, those tiny days are perfect, but anything over 5ft isn’t an issue here since it never gets there. Right now, it’s a waiting game. There are long gaps with no real recommendations, and the second week’s best is still pretty average. That said, with a spot that is fairly consistent, it tends not to stay quiet for long.
Keep an eye on it, because forecasts can shift, but for now, it’s slow.
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.
