The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: if you’re looking to paddle out at St Andrews State Park over the next 16 days, you’re going to need a whole lot of patience. The entire outlook is a struggle, with barely a ripple to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the winds are mostly onshore or cross, and the scores are all zeros.
We start off with nothing on Thursday 3rd September – just a tiny 0.3 ft windswell from the SE with a short 5 second period, and a light cross-on breeze. Water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it on a day like this. Friday and Saturday are a complete write-off with no swell to speak of. Sunday 6th September offers a meagre 1 ft to 1 ft from the WSW, but the wind is a cross-on 9-12 mph, making it choppy and messy.
The best of a bad lot looks like Monday 7th September morning. We’ve got a tiny 2 ft from the west, a 4 second period, and a light cross-on breeze. The combined energy is a weak 7, so it's not going to be doing much, but it's the cleanest window we have in the first week. The following days are just more of the same – tiny, blown-out, or flat.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day stretch shows up on Tuesday 15th September. The morning session sees a 3 ft swell from the SE with a 5 second period, and clean conditions thanks to a light cross-off breeze from the ENE. The combined energy climbs to 36, which is still weak but at least a step up. The afternoon looks even better, with glassy conditions and a 2 ft SSE swell. For a beach/jetty setup, this is the standout, but it’s still small stuff. After that, it’s back to the same old story of tiny, short-period windswell through to the 18th.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that’s even close to worth a proper session. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep your board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.

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