Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour. Same story – flat as a pancake. Bethune Beach has almost nothing going on for the next couple weeks.
We start off tiny. Sunday July 5th afternoon, a 1ft easterly swell at 8 seconds, with a cross-off breeze from the SSE at 12 mph. Energy is a weak 26. Monday July 6th morning is 1ft from the east, 8 seconds, 6 mph WSW wind cross-off, energy 15. Tuesday July 7th morning is glassy, 1ft from the east at 9 seconds, energy 18. Wednesday July 8th morning glassy again, 1ft, 9 seconds, energy 38. All these days are basically flat with weak, short-period swell.
Thursday July 9th morning is about the best you’ll see – a 2ft ESE swell at 9 seconds, glassy conditions from the SSW at 3 mph, combined energy 68. For a sandbar break that needs ENE swell to really work, this ESE direction is a bit off, but at least it’s glassy. You might catch a knee-high roller if you’re keen. After that, it’s back to tiny – 1ft to 2ft with cross or onshore winds.
Mid-second week, Wednesday July 15th morning brings a 2ft NE swell at 8 seconds with offshore winds from the SW at 19 mph, energy 55. Thursday July 16th morning has 1ft NE at 6 seconds, offshore SW at 13 mph, energy 31. Friday July 17th morning has 1ft ESE at 8 seconds, offshore SSW at 12 mph, energy 22. It’s all incredibly small.
No real standout here. The only nod goes to Thursday July 9th morning for the glassy conditions and slightly higher energy, but it’s still barely rideable. Water temp on July 5th was about 84°F, normal for the season. Crowds won’t be a problem because there’s no surf. This stretch of flatness is typical for an inconsistent break like Bethune Beach. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.

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.
