The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real here. Right now, the outlook for Bicentenial Park is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with nothing that really gets the heart pumping. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with only a couple of moments that are barely surfable. It’s a flat spell, and it’s going to feel like it.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so no weirdness there.
The first real sniff of anything is on Monday, July 20th, in the afternoon. We’re looking at a tiny 4 ft swell from the SE, with a short period of 4 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the S at 9 mph, which will keep it clean. The combined energy is weak, at 62. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Honestly, it’s a beginner’s wave at best, and even then, it’s not going to be much fun.
Then we wait. Nothing really changes until the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. Another pulse of 1 ft SE swell with an 8-second period, clean offshore wind from the W at 6 mph. The combined energy is still weak at 44. Again, surfable but very ordinary. It’s the same story.
The last little flicker is on Friday, July 31st, in the morning. A 1 ft ESE swell, 8-second period, glassy wind from the ENE at 3 mph. The energy is a weak 43. It’s clean, but it’s tiny.
The rest of the window is a write-off. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, the swell is tiny, and the energy is weak. The best on offer is those two Monday and Tuesday afternoons, but calling them a “standout” would be a joke. They’re just the least bad. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a classic blank run. Don’t expect much. The breaks are exposed to the east, and the swells we’re seeing are not matching that optimum direction. It’s a tough time.

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

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.
