The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’re looking at for the Coastguard Beach area over the next couple of weeks.
This is a slow start, no doubt about it. From right now, Sunday the 23rd of August, all the way through to the end of the month and into the first days of September, there’s basically nothing. A full ten days of tiny surf and shifty winds. You might as well leave the board in the garage.
Things finally stir on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. The wind goes dead calm – pure glass. We’ve got a tiny 1-foot swell from the ENE with a 13-second period. The combined swell energy is weak, at 64, but the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a novelty wave, a knee-high wafter, but if you’re jonesing, it’s the first thing that’s remotely rideable. Water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Now, the real standout is the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September. This is what we’re waiting for, but it’s over a week out, so keep your expectations in check.
Saturday morning, the 5th of September, brings a 4-foot swell from the NE with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is a solid 366, which is moderate. The wind is light and clean from the SSW, making it cross-offshore. The forecast calls for “good surf conditions.” For a beach break, that short period might make things a little crumbly, but with that clean wind, it’ll be the best session in ages. That size is fun for intermediates, but beginners might find it a little pushy.
Sunday morning, the 6th of September, is the absolute best of the whole outlook. We score offshore wind from the W at just under 10 mph, giving us a clean, glassy face. The swell is a solid 4 feet from the ENE with a much better 11-second period. The combined energy is strong at 589. The model says “expect very good surf conditions.” That offshore breeze is gold, it’ll hold the waves up and make ‘em clean. This is the session to plan for.
After that, it’s all downhill again. Monday the 7th sees the swell drop and the wind pick up, shutting the window.
So, to sum it up: ten days of flatness, a tiny glassy wave on the 2nd, and then a proper clean weekend on the 5th and 6th. Sunday the 6th is your best bet.
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.
