The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Coastguard Beach are looking pretty grim. From now, 20 July, right through to the end of the month and into early August, there's basically nothing rideable. The swell is tiny, period short, and the wind just isn't cooperating. Coastguard Beach is usually a consistent beginner spot, so this flat spell is a bit of an anomaly – but it's real.
Then on Monday morning, 4 August, we finally see a tiny pulse. A 2ft swell from the south, with a 7-second period – that's weak, short-period stuff. Combined energy is only 98 – barely a whisper. But the wind? Light SW at 6 mph, cross-off, so it'll be clean. The break is exposed to the south-east, so this south swell might wrap in a bit. It's small, but for a learner or someone desperate for a paddle, it could be a fun little session. Just don't expect any power. After that, it looks like it drops back to nothing. No standouts, no real quality – just a glimmer on that Monday morning. If you're a kite surfer, the bigger windy days mid-week (like 22 July with 5ft and 19 mph winds) might be more interesting, but for surfing, this is a tough stretch.

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.
