Right, let's have a look at what's cooking for Bethune Beach over these next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, mate – this is one of those tough stretches where the swell just isn't showing up. The sandbar setup here gets picky, and it's gonna be a lean run.
The water temp is sitting right around 84°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least the wait will be warm.
We're looking at a long, dry spell from the start of the period. Through the early days of July, it’s just tiny, weak energy. Thursday the 2nd kicks off with a small 3ft swell from the ENE with a short 7-second period and only 89 (weak energy) in the tank. It's onshore, pushing into a mess. That trend of poor conditions just locks in. Friday and Saturday offer nothing rideable either – the swell drops, the winds are cross-shore. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th go glassy or clean with offshore flow, but the swell is practically dead at 1.0ft. It's flat.
That lean stretch runs for about a week straight. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits. The first time we even see a “surfable” tag (score of 1 out of 10) is on the morning of Thursday the 9th of July. Even then, it’s only a 2ft swell from the ESE with a long period of 9 seconds, and just 68 (weak energy). Winds are light offshore from the SSW, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be tiny and weak. Not worth paddling out for the headlines.
You get a few more of those "ordinary" mornings on the 10th and 11th – glassy conditions with clean lines, but the swell never pushes past 2ft. The energy is just too low to do anything with.
The second week, nothing changes. The swell stays small and the pulse weak. There's a little bump in energy hitting 99 on the afternoon of the 13th, but that’s still weak, and it’s a messy cross-onshore wind situation on a 2ft swell.
Honestly, for this whole 16-day window, there is no standout. There's no single session I'd point you toward. The consistent lack of size and power, mixed with only brief windows of clean wind, means you're better off finding another hobby for a bit. The wave energy just isn't there.

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.
