Table - best surf conditions forecast for Coastguard Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, let’s talk about Coastguard Beach. It’s a consistent, exposed beginner-friendly break. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll feel that difference when you get in.
The next couple of weeks are going to be a real struggle here. For the first nine days, from Tuesday the 7th through Wednesday the 16th, it’s basically a write-off. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and when there is a little more size, it comes with strong or onshore winds that just trash it. There’s a short window on Wednesday the 8th afternoon where it goes glassy and clean with swell around 4ft from the ENE, but the energy is weak (163) and it’s still only producing ordinary waves. That’s about the best you’ll get in that whole first stretch, which honestly isn’t saying much. It’s a near-blank run of flat, choppy, or blown-out surf for nine days straight.
Then we get a bit of life on Sunday the 19th afternoon. The wind turns offshore, clean, but the swell jumps to 7ft from the south, and the combined energy hits 437 – that’s moderate to strong. The period is short at 7 seconds, though, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and fat. That might be a go for stronger paddlers, but it’s not going to be pretty.
Things finally shape up nicely for Monday the 20th. Morning brings glassy conditions, and we’ve got a solid 6ft south swell with a period of 10 seconds and strong energy (627). That’s the standout of the whole outlook – clean, solid, good energy. The afternoon stays good with 6ft from the SSE and clean cross-off winds (551 energy). It’s manageable size for a confident beginner but will be fun for everyone.
By Tuesday the 21st, the swell is already dropping back to 3ft with weak energy (99), so that Monday is the one real jewel in this run. After that, it fades back into small, messy conditions through Wednesday the 22nd.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother with the first week and a half. Mark your calendar for Monday the 20th of July – that’s your best bet. Head down early for the glassy windows. Everything else is a flat spell or blown out.

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.
