The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We've got a long, quiet stretch ahead at Coastguard Beach, so don't be in a rush to wax up.
The overall vibe is flat and uninspiring. For the most part, we're looking at tiny, weak swells that barely register, with a combined wave energy that's mostly in the single digits (only a few days even tickling the 50-90 mark). It's a classic run of poor surf conditions that just won't let up.
Kicking off on the 1st of September, it's flat. Tuesday morning gives us a 0.3 ft swell from the SE with a short 8-second period and a feeble 3 combined energy, plus cross-on winds. That's a big fat zero in my book. The next few days don't get much better. Wednesday the 2nd sees a tiny 3 ft swell from the ESE, but it's hampered by an onshore breeze and a period so short (5 seconds) it won't hold any shape. The combined energy hits 45, but it’s still junk. Thursday and Friday offer a bit of cleaner wind, but the swell is barely pushing 2 ft, so it's not worth a second look.
We go through a whole week of this. The swell stays below 3 ft, the wind switches around, and every single entry in the forecast says "poor surf conditions." By the time we hit the second week, the 8th of September, we're looking at 1 ft or smaller. There's a glimpse of offshore wind on the 8th morning, but the swell is too small to do anything with. The energy numbers drop to pathetic levels (22, 18, 4). The fresh and strong breezes just make it messy or, at best, clean but with nothing to ride.
The only faint pulse comes around the 12th of September with a 2 ft SSE swell and a combined energy of 59, but a cross-shore wind messes it up. The rest of the run is more of the same: tiny waves, small periods, and choppy or cross-shore winds. It's a 16-day blank run, honestly. This is a stretch where it's not unusual for the area to go quiet like this.
If you're desperate, you could watch the 12th, but only if you're a beginner with a foamie and zero expectations. Otherwise, save your energy. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the wind and lack of swell. You ain't missing a thing out here.

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.
