The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get to it. Rusty here, and I’m looking at the next few weeks for Coastguard Beach. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. There’s no surf on offer for the first part of the window, and it’s a long stretch of nothing.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Friday, August 7th. Up until then, we’re looking at a solid gap of about two weeks with nothing but poor conditions and tiny, weak waves. It’s a real dry spell.
For the first break worth mentioning, we’ve got Coastguard Beach on Friday, August 7th, in the afternoon. The swell is coming from the SSW at 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 159. It’s not a big swell, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen in weeks. The wind goes glassy, with a slight air from the east, so the surface will be clean. That’s the best part of this whole outlook. The break is consistent, but it’s an exposed beach, so with that short period, don’t expect perfection. It’s surfable, and that’s more than we’ve had.
There’s nothing else worth grabbing your board for after that. The following morning, Saturday, August 8th, the wind shifts onshore with a light rain, and the swell drops back to 3 ft from the NNE with a short period, and the energy plummets to 57. It’s back to the poor stuff.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Friday afternoon is your only window. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only game in town. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
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.
