The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on the horizon.
Honestly, it’s gonna be a quiet stretch for a while. The first week’s looking pretty flat and not worth paddling out. The first half of this forecast window is a write-off unless you’re just keen for a swim. It’s not until Tuesday, September 8th that we finally see something tick over. There’s a decent little bump that shows up that morning, and it’s about the only standout in the whole outlook.
That Tuesday morning, September 8th, at Bethune Beach, there’s a glassy start with the wind dead calm. Swell comes from the NE at 4 ft, with a period around 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 204, so there’s some proper push behind it. It’s a sandbar setup here, exposed to that east-northeast swell. This spot can be inconsistent, and crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might get some room. The water temp is about average for this time of year—nothing wild. This is the only real window of surfable waves across the whole 16 days, and even then everywhere else is barely an ankle-snapper. The rest of the week after that Tuesday drops right back off to tiny, weak junk. The second week is a write-off: flat, glassy mornings then onshore trash by afternoon. Not much else to say except keep the board waxed and hope for a change in the pattern.

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.
