The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for a surfer. This reef setup at Bicentenial Park is exposed to the east, and that’s the only real direction we’ve got coming in, but the size and energy just aren’t there. The first week is a write-off. We’ve got a full 10 days from Saturday the 8th of August right through to Monday the 17th of August where the surf is flat out poor. Tiny waves, weak energy, and messy wind. You’re better off doing something else.
The first real flicker of life comes on Tuesday the 18th of August. The swell is still small, around 1ft from the east, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The combined energy is weak (53), but the wind is clean and cross-offshore, making it surfable if you’re desperate. Nothing to get excited about.
Wednesday the 19th of August is the standout in this bleak outlook. That morning, we get a glassy session with a 2ft east swell and a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The energy jumps to 129 (moderate), and with the wind off the land, it’ll be clean. The long period will make the waves more powerful and the sets will be spaced out, but on a reef like this, that’s a good thing. The crowd situation is inevitable here, so don’t expect a solo session. It’s not big, but it’s the best we’ll see.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday the 20th has a glassy morning with 2ft east swell, 11-second period, and weak energy (88), but it’s surfable. The afternoon gets chopped up. The rest of the week through to the 23rd of August is mostly poor, with occasional small windows of clean conditions but nothing to write home about. The morning of Saturday the 22nd of August has a 2ft east swell, 12-second period, and moderate energy (105) with clean cross-offshore wind – that’s the second-best option, but it’s still very ordinary.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Bottom line: if you’re a beginner, the tiny stuff is manageable, but anything over 5ft isn’t happening here. The reef is rarely breaking with any quality, so don’t hold your breath. This is a blank run for sure.
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.
