The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the 16-day window for Sharp Park, I gotta be honest: it's a pretty grim stretch of surf. The entire 16-day forecast is so poor that there’s not a single moment I can recommend you paddle out. The swell is tiny and the wind is almost always working against us.
For the first week, from the 6th of August through to the 13th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell from the southwest. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 500 (which is moderate at best, but feels weak here). On the 9th of August, we get a pulse of 5 ft from the WNW, but the energy jumps to 616 (moderate). That sounds promising, but it's a no-go. The wind is blowing straight onshore at 12 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out mess. A 5 ft swell on a beach/pier with that wind is a kite surfer's dream, not a paddle surfer's. Don't even think about it for beginners.
The second week doesn't get any better. From the 14th of August all the way through to the 21st, we’re back to ankle-to-knee high dribble, with the swell dropping to 2 ft to 3 ft. The wind stays either onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface textured and choppy. The energy values are all in the weak to moderate range, well under 500. There’s just no swell energy to work with.
This is a blank run. For a spot that's marked as "very consistent," this is a real bummer. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, but for now, the best advice is to leave the boards in the car and catch up on your gear maintenance. There's nothing on offer here.
Rusty.

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