The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, the outlook for Bicentenial Park (reef) over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf, with barely a whisper of quality. The swell energy is weak for the vast majority of the period, with values mostly in the teens and twenties, and only occasionally climbing into the low hundreds.
The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 18th of August. The morning brings a bit of life with a 2ft swell from the east, period of 9 seconds, and combined energy of 41. It’s glassy, which is a major positive, but the waves are still described as very ordinary. The afternoon sees a similar 2ft east swell, with a touch more energy (47), and clean offshore wind from the west-southwest. It’s not ripping, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Wednesday the 19th of August might offer a little more, with a 2ft swell from the north-east, period of 6 seconds, and clean offshore wind from the west-southwest in the morning. Energy is 57. Again, it’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Wednesday afternoon on the 19th of August. The combined energy of all swells jumps to 119 (moderate wave energy), with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast at 8 seconds. It’s an onshore wind, though, so expect it to be messy. This spot is exposed to the east, and the optimum swell direction is from the east, so it’s catching what little energy is around. But with the onshore wind, it’s not going to be clean.
Water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit.
This is a reef break, rated for beginners, but it’s also inconsistent. When it does break, crowds are always a problem, so you’ll have company. Given the tiny, weak swell with poor conditions, it’s a real grind. The best bet is to target the brief windows of offshore or glassy wind on the 18th and 19th of August, but keep expectations low.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
