The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and sad for Coastguard Beach. The swell is just not showing up, and when there’s a pulse, the wind is going to mess it up. We're in for a long stretch of small, weak surf. I'm talking a real drought. We're looking at a solid run of days with nothing on offer, so don't get your hopes up for any quick fix.
The water is sitting at 70° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a huge deal, but you might not need the full 4/3 just yet.
Now, looking at the whole picture, the energy in the water is just pitiful. We're seeing combined swell energy values in the low tens and even single digits for the first stretch – that's barely a ripple. Even when it bumps up a little, like on the 2nd of September when we see 3ft to 4ft, it’s short-period, wind-driven junk with an easterly component that will have it all chopped up. That onshore wind will just destroy any chance of a clean face. The morning of the 3rd, that 2ft with an onshore breeze, is a write-off too.
The only time we see a real spike in energy is on the afternoon of the 3rd, where the combined energy jumps to 155, but that's still just 4ft of short-period NE windswell. It’s not going to be pretty. And that's followed by a return to the weak, onshore slop.
Honestly, there's not one standout session here. If I had to pick a moment where it *might* be marginally less terrible, it’d be the morning of the 31st of August. There’s a tiny 0.7ft of swell, but the wind is glassy. It will be dead calm, but there's just nothing to ride. It's a total flatty.
The wind does go offshore around the 11th of September, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a short period. There’s some energy, but it’s not directed well, and the whole setup just screams frustration.
So, bottom line: leave the board in the car, maybe bring a book. It's a barren run, and there’s no point fighting it. If you're really keen, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard, given the wind and lack of waves. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it's a hard pass.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
