The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The only spot in the mix is Coastguard Beach. It’s open to the swell, but honestly, this is a pretty quiet run for the next couple of weeks. There’s a big gap with nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Thursday, 30 July, and even then it’s only just surfable.
The pattern starts quiet and stays that way. The first bit of hope pops up on Thursday, 30 July. The morning brings a tiny 1.0ft swell from the ENE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (140). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, which keeps things clean. It’s poor surf, but at least it’s clean. The afternoon drops to 0.8ft, still clean, but the energy fades to 88. That’s the best you’ll get, and it’s underwhelming. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor surf with messy onshore winds and barely any size.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
For a beginner spot, this is a tough week. The swell never gets above 5ft, and when it does, it’s short-period and blown out. The only clean windows are those Thursday sessions, but the waves are tiny and weak. Crowds are possible at Coastguard Beach, but on a run like this, it’ll be empty. If you’re desperate, the Thursday morning is your best bet—clean, light breeze, and a tiny knee-high wave. Not a standout, just the least bad option.
No big swell, no standout days. Just a long wait for a couple of forgettable hours.

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.
