The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for our stretch of coast. I've got to be straight with you, we’re looking at a long, dry spell ahead.
To be honest, there’s not a single standout session in the entire 16-day window. The waves are just not showing up with any kind of quality. We're going to see a lot of small, weak, and messy surf, with mostly onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up.
For the first week, starting from Sunday the 26th of July, we've got some waist-high swell around, bumping up to around 5ft by Thursday the 30th, but it’s coming with a short, weak period. The energy is low to moderate, with readings ranging from 68 to 171. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so expect choppy, poor conditions at Coastguard Beach. It’s not really offering anything for a surfer to get excited about. Water temp is sitting at a normal 68° for this time of year.
We do see a little improvement in the wind late in the first week and into the start of August, with some cleaner, cross-off breezes on the 1st and 2nd of August, but unfortunately, the swell drops right out. You're looking at knee-high mush at best, with very low energy readings in the teens and forties. The conditions might be clean, but there's no power to work with.
After that, it's more of the same. A few pulses of energy push through around the 6th and 7th of August, with swell heights around 4ft, but the period is short again at 6 seconds. Combined energy hits 125, so there’s some push, but it’s all junky. The wind remains a problem, mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface chopped up. The rest of the forecast is tiny, weak and mostly unrideable.
There are no decent options for beginners or experts in this stretch. The lack of any consistent, quality swell with favourable winds means it’s a long wait. For this area, this kind of flat spell isn’t totally unusual, but it’s still frustrating. The forecasts can change, so don’t write it off entirely, but for now, I’d keep the boards in the car and the wax in the wrapper.
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.
