Table - best surf conditions forecast for Seaside Park over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Right, looks like a pretty quiet run for a while here. The first week or so is mostly small, messy, and not really worth getting wet for. The wind is all over the place and the swell is tiny. You’ve got a long gap from Wednesday the 15th all the way through to Saturday the 25th, where most sessions are rated as poor or marginal. Don’t bother checking the cams.
Then, things finally start to look up around Sunday the 26th of July. That’s the standout window. Seaside Park should see a solid pulse of 6ft southerly swell with a moderate offshore wind (WNW at 12 mph). The combined energy jumps to 523, which is a powerful, punchy amount of water moving. The offshore wind will keep it clean, and for a spot that’s exposed to the south-east, this is about as good as it gets around here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need to dig out the thickest wetsuit just yet. The crowd situation is ‘always’ busy, so you’ll be sharing the peaks, but for this level of quality, it’s worth it. This is best for intermediate to advanced surfers, as that 6ft swell will be a bit much for beginners.
The Monday morning (27th July) also has some lingering 5ft south swell with cross-off winds, but the energy is a touch less (461) and the direction is a bit more southerly, so it won’t be quite as lined up as Sunday. It’s still a decent option if you missed the main day.
The period before that, Saturday the 25th, has a late afternoon window with a 4.6ft easterly swell and a light cross-off breeze, but it’s weak energy (134) and just 'surfable' – a warm-up, not a highlight.
So, bottom line: the first ten days are a write-off. Don’t bother. The real action is on Sunday the 26th of July at Seaside Park. That’s your one true standout. Be there early.

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.
