The Lowdown
Yo, it's Rusty here. Right, let's be straight with ya—the 16-day look ahead for this spot is a bit of a write-off. We're talking a solid stretch of low-energy, messy conditions with barely a sniff of a decent wave. From the start of the period right through to the end, it's mostly poor surf with onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up.
The only flicker of something slightly less ordinary comes on Sunday the 13th of September. Sunday morning at Bicentenial Park (reef break) has a tiny 0.5m swell from the east with a period of 9 seconds. The big win here is the wind—it's dead calm, glassy. The wave energy is weak though, only 40 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It's described as having "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don't expect much. It's a beginner spot and it's inconsistent, plus crowds are always there, so that might put a few off. That glassy morning is the best you'll get, but it's still small and weak. After that, it's back to poor surf with choppy conditions and onshore winds for the rest of the week.
Into the second week, there's a bit more energy mid-week, for instance on Monday the 21st of September afternoon, you get a 1.4m swell from the northeast, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore and the surf conditions are still rated poor. The wave energy jumps up to 239 (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is moderate, but the wind is just ruining any chance of quality. The swell period is 8 seconds, so not great shape either. By Tuesday the 22nd of September morning, it's 1.5m from the northeast with energy hitting 504 (combined energy of all swells directed here)—that's moderate to strong energy—but again, wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze making it lumpy. At 1.5m, it might be a bit much for beginners, but with the wind howling, it's not looking good for anyone.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a bust. The surf is small, the wind is nearly always wrong, and there's nothing that stands out as worth rushing for. It's one of those stretches where the forecast might change, but as it stands, keep the board in the shed. This is not a spot for paddle surfing right now; with that onshore wind and small, weak swell, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Bicentenial Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
