The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright, lookin’ at the next 16 days for Coastguard Beach. Honestly, for the most part, the surf here is gonna be pretty grim, with a whole heap of days of poor surf. We’re talkin’ a real dry spell from the start until we finally get a little something worth gettin’ wet for. The water temp is about 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a game changer but a nice little bonus if you do get in.
The first proper chance to paddle out won't be until Sunday, September 6th in the afternoon. That's your standout, mate. We get a spike of clean 5ft swell from the NE with a 9-second period. The wave energy is solid at 373, and with a light breeze from the NW turning it cross-offshore, it cleans it right up. This is the best on offer, but for beginners, that 5ft is starting to push the limits. It's a consistent spot, so you'll get waves, but there’s a chance of crowds here. It’s the one to aim for.
Before that, forget about it. Everything from Wednesday the 2nd through to Sunday morning is a write-off. Small, weak, or messy with poor conditions and wind all over the shop. There’s a bump from the NNE on Saturday the 5th with 4ft, but cross-shore winds at 22 mph will have it all chopped out – that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that Sunday session, it goes quiet again. The swell drops back to knee-high or smaller for the whole second week. A little 3ft bump from the ENE on Monday the 7th shows up with 152 energy, but it’s got cross or cross-onshore wind, so it won’t be a patch on the Sunday. From Tuesday the 8th onward, it’s tiny or flat with light wind, but the swell is just too small to bother with – a real flat run for the area.
So yeah, mark the calendar for Sunday arvo, the 6th. That’s the pick of a pretty barren bunch.

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.
