The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you, the picture is pretty flat for a long stretch. The first real bit of action we see is a tiny pulse, but it's more of a ripple than a wave. The whole 16-day window is a tough one, with a whole lot of days where you'd be better off doing something else. There's a big gap of nothing worthwhile from the start right through to the start of September.
The first time we get anything that might get your heart beating is on September 3rd, Thursday morning. The swell is coming up from the NE at 5ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's gonna be a bit of a lumpy mess. The winds are howling out of the NNE at 19 mph, with a cross-shore chop. The combined energy is moderate at 288, but with the onshore cross wind, it's going to be choppy and tough. This is a beginner spot, and with the swell at 5ft, it's pushing into tricky territory for a learner. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Thursday afternoon is more of the same.
On Friday, September 4th, the swell drops a bit to 3ft, but the wind is still a strong cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The wave energy is moderate at 139, but it's not going to be pretty.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Thursday, September 10th. The wind finally swings offshore from the WSW, blowing a strong 28 mph. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the ESE with a 6-second period, so the energy is weak at 52. It'll be clean and glassy, but you'll be fighting to get into anything. It's a super clean, strong offshore wind, but it's a real battle to get into the tiny waves. The afternoon is the same story with a lighter breeze.
So, to be honest, there's not one true standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is that Thursday the 10th with the offshore wind, but the swell is just too small. If you're desperate, that's your window. Otherwise, keep your board in the garage and wait for a better forecast.
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.
