The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’re working with. Bicentenial Park (reef) is the only option in the 16‑day window, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The forecast shows a long, quiet run with very little to get excited about.
From the start, Saturday the 29th through the first week of September, the surf is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with weak energy readings around 30–50 (combined energy of all swells directed here). Winds are often straight onshore or cross‑onshore, and the swell period is short, rarely breaking 8 seconds. The water is a touch cooler than usual at this time of year, which makes sense for late August around here.
There’s a real gap in anything worthwhile. The first few days are essentially flat with poor conditions. You’d be waiting a long time for even a glimmer of hope.
Around Wednesday the 9th of September, we finally see a shift. The morning shows a light offshore wind from the west, 9 mph, with 2 ft east swell, 10‑second period. The wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” scoring a 1/10. The energy is still modest (73 combined energy). It’s clean, but don’t expect much more than knee‑high runners.
The next morning, Thursday the 10th, is similar but smaller – 1 ft, light cross‑offshore wind, clean. Again, ordinary.
Then the real standout window appears for Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th. Swell height jumps to 4 ft on Saturday and 6 ft on Sunday, with period around 7–8 seconds. The combined energy hits 378 on Sunday morning (moderate) and 459 by afternoon (moderate to strong). The swell direction swings to ENE, which is a bit off the optimum east, but the wind is a problem – onshore from the northeast at 15–18 mph, making for lumpy, messy conditions. This is when the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with the short‑period, onshore‑blown swell.
So if you’re desperate for a wave, the cleanest surf will be the morning of Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, with tiny, clean little waves. For size, the weekend of the 13th–14th has the most energy, but the wind ruins it. Nothing here really stands out as a proper session.

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.
