Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got.
Right off the bat, it’s a flat spell for St Andrews State Park. The entire 16-day window is a struggle. Honestly, from today all the way through the end of the period, we’re looking at tiny, weak surf with constant poor conditions. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem hiding in the data. The waves just don’t show up.
Through the first week – from Saturday July 4th right through to Friday July 10th – it’s a total write-off. Swell heights barely nudge above 1 ft, with periods under 5 seconds. That’s windswell at best, and most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the SW or WSW, ruining any chance of shape. The combined energy stays below 12 (12) for days. Water temp is sitting at 86°, about 2° above average – so warm, but nothing wild.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Saturday July 11th onward, we keep seeing the same story: tiny waves – 0.3 ft to 2 ft – and messy winds. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday July 15th morning when the wind goes offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, but the swell is only 0.3 ft. It’s clean but there’s nothing to ride. The energy readings stay pitiful, often under 10. By Sunday July 19th, we see a slight bump to 3 ft from the WSW, but with cross-onshore winds at 9-12 mph and energy hitting only 34 (34), it’s still a choppy, weak day.
To be honest, this is a classic summer flat spell for this spot. When the swell direction is all wrong and the wind won’t cooperate, the beach/jetty setup here just doesn’t fire. If you’re desperate for any wave, maybe bring a longboard and a patient attitude, but don’t expect much.
Stay tuned – forecasts can change, and it won’t stay this flat forever.
Rusty.

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.
