The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Well, the next 16 days? I’m gonna be honest with you, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the Cape. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special on the horizon. The first real chance of anything even worth paddling out for is gonna be a quiet one, and even then, it’s not exactly firing.
Right now, and for the next few days, it’s all very small. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first surfable bump comes in on Sunday afternoon, the 2nd of August, at Coastguard Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the swell. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft wave from the south, with a period of only 4 seconds. That’s not a groundswell; it’s weak, choppy slop. The combined energy is a measly 16, and with a 15 mph cross-breeze, it’s gonna be a messy one. Honestly, you’d be better off waiting.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one that gets my heart rate up, is a brief window on Monday morning, the 3rd of August. The swell picks up to 4ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 192, which is moderate. Now, the wind that morning is a strong 25 mph cross-offshore, but it’s clean. That’s the key. For a surfer who knows what they’re doing, that clean, strong wind will hold the face open. It’s not a beginner wave at that size, but for an intermediate or expert, it’s the best offer in the whole forecast. The crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so you might get a few sets to yourself.
After that Monday morning, it’s a real dry spell. From Tuesday the 4th all the way through to the 17th of August, it’s a constant run of poor surf conditions. The swell drops to almost nothing, mostly under 1ft, with weak energy readings often in the single digits. The wind is all over the place, but it’s not cooperating. There’s a glassy moment on the 14th of August, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it’s a lake. Not worth the wax.
So, to wrap it up: if you’re keen, get out Monday morning, the 3rd of August. It’s the only real surf in the 16-day window. The rest is a waiting game. It’s the kind of run that’s normal for this area, so don’t lose hope—forecasts can change.
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.
