Table - best surf conditions forecast for Seaside Park over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s take a look at what Seaside Park has cookin’.
Right now and for the next couple weeks, it’s pretty quiet. There’s a big gap of flatness before anything worth even thinking about. The first real surf doesn’t appear until around July 21st – that’s a long dry spell.
On Thursday morning, July 21st, the swell finally shows up at 8 ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a strong push of energy, coming in at 695. But the wind’s blowing cross-onshore from the SSW at 12 mph, so the surf is gonna be poor quality. The water temp is 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a big swell – over 8 ft – so it’s for experts only. Beginners, don’t even think about it. With the beach break setup and that wind, it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding day than a clean surf session.
That afternoon the swell holds at 7 ft from the SSE, but the wind jumps to 19 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy.
The rest of the forecast drops off in size, and the wind stays junky – cross to cross-onshore, with moderate breezes. The energy drops into the moderate range, but the quality never gets good.
Bottom line: you’ll be waiting until the 21st for the first real bump, and the conditions aren’t gonna cooperate. Forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely.

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