The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coast. We’ve only got one spot to look at, so I’ll be honest with you from the start: it’s a lean period.
The overall pattern is flat and pretty uninspiring. We’re looking at Bicentennial Park, a reef break that’s inconsistent and can get absolutely packed. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, about a full degree off the mark, so you might feel that little chill.
There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile here. The first little flicker of life comes on Friday, 4 September, but it’s not much to write home about. The morning shows a weak 2ft swell from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a meagre 52 – that’s weak energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the south at 6 mph, which keeps the surface clean, but the waves are just surfable, nothing more. The afternoon turns ugly with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on wind, making conditions poor.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are a complete write-off – tiny, gutless waves with poor conditions. The week that follows is no better. We get a few glassy mornings on Monday the 7th, Tuesday the 8th, and Wednesday the 9th, with tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, but the energy is still pathetic (20 to 87). The waves are there, but they’re ordinary.
The only real bump in the road comes on Saturday, 12 September. The morning offers a 4ft swell from the east-northeast, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is a light offshore from the west-southwest at 3 mph, so the surface is clean. The combined energy hits 93, still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. This is the only window that’s even worth a glance. The afternoon, however, gets trashed by a 12 mph cross-on wind and choppy conditions.
Everything after that, from the 13th of September right through to the 19th, is a mix of onshore wind, rain, and poor surf. The swell tries to show up on the 14th with a 4ft wave and energy jumping to 207 (moderate), but the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph, making it a total mess. For a beach, this would be kite-surfing territory, but this is a reef, so it’s just a no-go.
So, the honest truth: there is no standout day here. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Saturday, 12 September. It’s a small, clean wave for the beginners, but don’t expect any power. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, sit this one out.
Stay safe, and don’t force it.
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.
