The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu for the next 16 days. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak run. The finder is showing nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the entire window, so there’s no standout session to get excited about. The good news is that Coastguard Beach is a consistent spot, so it’s not a total write-off forever – just a flat spell.
We kick off on Saturday, 1st August, with a tiny 1 ft swell from the SE, but the energy is weak at just 20. The water is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is a light cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power to work with. That sets the tone for the whole first week. We roll through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with swell barely scraping 2 ft and energy staying below 52. Wednesday morning the 5th sees a glassy moment with 1.0 ft, but it’s so small you’d be floating on a log.
There’s a real gap of nothingness from Thursday the 6th right through to the 14th of August. Little ripples of 0.3 ft to 1 ft, weak energy, and mostly cross-off or cross-on winds. On Friday the 14th, we finally see a pulse of 4 ft swell from the S in the morning, jumping to 5 ft in the afternoon with energy at 169. That’s the biggest we’ll see, but it’s a short period of 5-6 seconds, meaning it’s fat and gutless. The wind is onshore, so it’s messy. For the last couple of days, it fades back to nothing.
Honestly, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’ve got a strong wind day. There’s just no surf worth chasing. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.

Information about the Coastguard Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Coastguard Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Coastguard Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Coastguard Beach 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 (Coastguard Beach) 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 Coastguard Beach 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.
