Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bethune Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Honestly, mate, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern doesn’t really change. There’s a gap of basically the whole forecast period where the surf is just too weak to get excited about.
Bethune Beach is the only spot on the radar, and it’s an inconsistent beginner sandbar. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
Right off the bat, Friday 10 July, we’ve got a tiny 2ft east swell with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is weak (38), and the wind is a light cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just no push. That’s the story for days. Saturday morning is even smaller at 1ft. Sunday the 12th has glassy conditions in the morning, but still only 1ft. Monday the 13th is glassy again, but again, ankle-snappers.
We get a slight bump on Tuesday the 14th afternoon – 2ft with a 9-second period, and the combined energy ticks up to moderate (101), but it’s onshore wind, so it’s messy. Wednesday the 15th morning is the best of a bad bunch: glassy, 1ft, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s as good as it gets all the way out to the end. The rest of the run is mostly tiny swell, poor wind, and clean but flat conditions.
There is no standout. Nothing big. Nothing worth more than a 1 out of 10. The swell direction is always from the east or southeast, which is fine for the break, but the size just isn’t there. If you’re a beginner, you might get some foam-ball practice on a longboard, but for anyone else, it’s a hard pass.
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.
Bethune Beach is 5 km (3 miles) from Edgewater. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Edgewater. Edgewater has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
