The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be honest – the next couple of weeks are looking real flat for Bicentennial Park (E), a reef that's already inconsistent and rarely breaks. The swell energy is gonna be weak, barely cracking 30 (30) at its best, and mostly sitting in the low double digits. That's a tough ask for a wave that needs an easterly direction to get going. Don't hold your breath.
The whole thing kicks off with poor surf. Sunday the 26th shows a tiny 2ft easterly swell, but a cross-on breeze from the southeast at 12 mph is gonna chop it up. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a bit cooler than normal for this time of year, but nothing crazy.
We slide through Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th with even smaller waves – 1ft and 1.0ft – and while the mornings look clean with light offshore or cross-off winds, there's just not enough juice to get excited about. The combined energy number barely climbs above 20 (20). It's a grind.
Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th offer clean conditions with offshore winds, but the swell is still pathetic – 1.0ft to 0.7ft. The energy drops to a measly 5 (5) on Thursday. For a reef that's already inconsistent, you'd need a miracle to find a ride.
The first week of August is more of the same. From Friday the 31st through to the 3rd, we're looking at 0.7ft to 2ft swells, with cross-off winds and a bit more energy creeping up to 46 (46) on the 3rd, but the wave period is short – around 6 seconds – so it's gonna be weak and messy. The "surfable but very ordinary" comment on the morning of the 4th sums it up: 2ft, glassy conditions, but it's just not enough to make the paddle worth it.
The run from the 5th to the 10th August is a total washout. Swell drops back to 1.0ft to 1ft, energy is mostly in the teens and thirties, and the wind keeps switching around, rarely giving you a clean window. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like the 9th and 10th, but with 1ft and energy around 35 (35) to 38 (38), it's a skip.
Honestly, there's no standout in this entire 16-day window. The best you can hope for is a tiny, knee-high wave on a glassy morning, and even then, the break is inconsistent, and crowds are always a problem when it does show. For a beginner reef, it's just too small and fickle. If you're desperate for a paddle, check the morning of the 4th of August, but don't expect any real waves.
Rusty.

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