The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat to miserable conditions. There isn’t a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. The first sign of any surfable waves doesn’t appear until the morning of Thursday, July 30th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. That’s a solid week of nothing worthwhile.
The only spot on the radar is Coastguard Beach. The water temp is sitting around 65.8°F which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For that Thursday morning, July 30th, we might see a tiny 2.3ft swell from the NE, with a short period around 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (76). The one saving grace? The wind is glassy, coming from the W at just 3 mph. That would make for a clean surface, but with such small, weak waves, it’s really just a chance to get the board wet. It’s not a surf.
The rest of the run is a mess of poor surf conditions, onshore and cross-shore winds, and tiny swell. On Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, there’s a bit of a bump with 4.3ft from the SE, but it’s a 5-second period windswell, with a moderate cross-shore wind and choppy conditions. That’s not going to wrap in cleanly.
Because the swell is so small (rarely even hitting 3ft) and the winds are mostly poor, a beach break like Coastguard Beach is just not going to offer anything for a paddle surfer. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to sum it up: it’s a flat spell. Don’t expect much. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no good surf in the 16-day window.

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.
