Alright, folks, let's talk about what’s on the menu for Coastguard Beach over the next couple of weeks. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—we're in for a long, flat, and frustrating stretch before anything decent shows up.
We’ve got a massive gap of about 15 days where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the surf quality is poor day after day. It’s the kind of run that tests your patience.
Right out the gate, Friday the 3rd we’re looking at a meagre 1 ft swell from the S with a short, weak 6-second period. Combined swell energy is a paltry 13, and the wind’s cross-off but it doesn’t matter—there’s no power to work with.
Saturday through to the middle of the month stays stubbornly small. The swell barely cracks 0.7 ft to 2 ft most days. The period is short, mostly 4 to 10 seconds, with combined energy values scraping the bottom of the barrel, between 2 and 67. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s not disappointing.
We do get a moment on the morning of Sunday the 12th where the wind goes glassy—dead calm, clean as a whistle—but the swell is only 1 ft from the SSE at 8 seconds, energy of 30. It’s clean but barely a ripple. Not really surfable.
Then, finally, a light at the end of the tunnel. Come Saturday the 18th, we get some action. The morning brings a 6 ft swell from the SE with a 7-second period. Combined swell energy jumps to 334, which is in the moderate range and a big deal after so much nothing. The wind is cross-off and clean. It’s still a short-period swell, so expect a bit of chop and less push than you’d hope for the size, but this is the standout window by a long shot. The afternoon holds at 5 ft from the ESE, energy of 254, with light cross-off winds keeping it tidy.
This is definitely better for intermediate to experienced surfers. With waves over 5 ft, beginners will find it a handful. The short period means the sets aren’t packing that punchy, organised face you get from a groundswell, but after two weeks of flatness, you’ll take it.
Keep an eye on the long-range forecast—this one on the 18th is promising, but it’s still a little way out, so don’t lock in your plans just yet. The crowds can be around sometimes at Coastguard, so it might pay to get in early.

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.
