The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Betset over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for any decent surf. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly a mess. We’ve got nothing but poor surf conditions flagged across the entire forecast. The combined wave energy barely gets a look in, with the highest reading we see hitting just 78 (moderate energy) right at the end, which is still a weak offering. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The water at Betset is sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice for a swim, but not much use for a decent paddle.
The first real mention of anything that might make you grab a board is on Wednesday morning, August 5th. Don’t get excited though. It’s a pathetic 2 ft from the WNW with a short 6-second period. The wind is a cross-on from the NW at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. The energy reading is a paltry 23 (weak energy). This theme just repeats day after day.
We get a tiny bit of hope on Monday morning, August 10th. The wind goes glassy from the north at just 3 mph, which is a beautiful thing to see. But the swell is still a miserable 2 ft from the west with that same short 6-second period. The energy is weak at 29. It’d be flat, clean, and pretty, but there’s nothing to ride.
From there, it’s more of the same. The swell stays below 3 ft right through until the end of the forecast. The winds chop and change, mostly cross-on or onshore, with a few cross-shore breezes thrown in. The period barely ever gets above 7 seconds, so it’s all windswell – weak and gutless. The energy figures stay in the low two digits until the middle of the second week, climbing just into the 50s and 70s by the 17th and 18th of August, but even then, the swell is only 3 ft to 3 ft with a short period.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Not a single day is worth trying to paddle out. For a beginner-friendly spot like Betset, these conditions are just a washout. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the shed. This is a kite-surfing kind of setup at best, with those onshore winds and ankle-to-knee-high bumps.

Information about the Betset Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Betset provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Betset can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Betset 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 (Betset) 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 Betset 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.
