The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Bicentennial Park, and I’ll be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch ahead. This spot is a reef break that’s inconsistent, and over the next 16 days, the surf is pretty much a no-go for most of us. Let’s break it down.
The water temp is sitting around 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off Wednesday the 26th of August with tiny 1ft of weak east swell (24 combined energy), and while the morning has a light cross-off breeze, it’s just not enough to get excited about. That theme repeats through Thursday and Friday—swell stays under 1ft, and the afternoons get chopped up by onshore winds. Saturday the 29th through to Tuesday the 1st of September is more of the same: tiny east swell, onshore wind, and the wave energy is barely registering (28 to 54 combined energy). It’s flat, folks.
There’s a small bump on Wednesday the 2nd of September, with the swell pushing 3ft in the afternoon (151 combined energy) and a longer 11-second period, but it’s still onshore and messy. Thursday the 3rd of September morning is the first real glimmer—glassy conditions with 2ft of east swell (92 combined energy), but it’s still just “surfable but ordinary.” The 4th of September morning is glassy again but only 2ft—paddling practice at best.
From the 5th to the 7th of September, it’s back to tiny, weak swell with cross-shore chop. The real standout, if you can call it that, arrives on Tuesday the 8th of September: 3ft of east-northeast swell (150 combined energy) with a clean cross-off breeze. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Then Wednesday the 9th of September morning brings our best conditions: 3ft of east-northeast swell (210 combined energy), a 12-second period, and a fresh offshore wind from the west-southwest. That’s the only time in the whole outlook where the stars align—clean, offshore, a bit of push. It’s still small, but for a break that’s usually flat, that’s the one to circle on your calendar. The 10th of September morning is similar but smaller, with 2ft and a light offshore.
Overall, this is a bleak run for Bicentennial Park. The break is inconsistent, and the swell just never gets going. If you’re desperate, aim for the morning of the 9th of September—that’s your best shot. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking pretty quiet.
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.
