The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the local surf outlook for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run we’re looking at. The finder is pulling up just one spot, Coastguard Beach, and even then, the waves are barely a whisper. We’re not talking about a slow start here; we’re talking about a 16-day window where the surf is pretty much flat.
For the first week, from Monday the 3rd of August right through, the swell is tiny. You’re looking at wave heights of just 0.3ft to 1ft, and the energy is pathetic. The water is a bit colder than average for this time of year at 67°, which is notable but not a shocker. A 6ft swell comes through on Monday the 3rd from the South, but it’s a short-period 7 seconds with a screaming 31 mph cross-offshore wind, so it’s blown out and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
The rest of the month is a waiting game. There’s a couple of mornings around the 11th of August and the 15th of August that look glassy, but with wave heights of 1ft to 0.3ft, it’s a lake. The energy readings are all in the single digits, which is as weak as it gets. Even the 14-second period swell on the 13th of August is only 0.3ft – that’s just a long-period bump with no push.
The second week looks the same. Tiny, weak, and uninspiring. There’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. When the swell is this small and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the break is a beach, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. We’ll have to keep an eye on the forecasts, but right now, it’s a solid blank run.
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.
