The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the honest truth is, there's barely a ripple worth paddling for. The only real option on the table is Deveraux Beach, a reef break that's a beginner's spot. But for the first nine days, it's a ghost town. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're scratching your head.
From now until the 23rd of August, the surf is flat. Tiny swell, no energy, and the wind is doing no favours. The combined swell energy is a measly 12 (weak energy) on Friday the 14th, and it barely nudges upwards. It's a real dry spell. You'll be staring at a lake.
Then, on Sunday the 23rd of August, we get a tiny flicker of life. The morning brings a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind goes glassy, which is a major positive. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the ENE, but it's a short-period swell of 7 seconds, so it's not going to have much grunt. The combined energy hits 136 (moderate wave energy). The call is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'd have to agree. It's the best on offer, but that's a low bar. For a beginner, that 4 ft is a manageable height, but the stormy sky and the fact it's a rare, inconsistent break means it's a gamble. The wind is offshore from the SW, so it'll be clean, but the overall quality is poor. After that, the 23rd afternoon sees a cleanup with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops back to 3 ft.
The rest of the window from the 24th onwards is more of the same: tiny waves, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. There's a moment on the 27th with a 13-second period from the ESE, but the swell is only 1.0 ft, so it's a tease. The 29th has a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW, but again, the swell is just 2 ft. It's a kite surfer's dream, not a paddle surfer's.
For a surfer, it's a waiting game. The only standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 23rd of August. With the glassy conditions, it might offer a few clean, if small, waves. It's inconsistent and the crowds are possible, so don't expect a quiet session. Keep your hopes low, and you might snag a couple.

Information about the Deveraux Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Deveraux Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Deveraux Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Deveraux 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 (Deveraux 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 Deveraux 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.
