Right, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
So, looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a quiet one for St Andrews State Park. Starting Saturday the 4th of July, there’s basically nothing to ride. For the first week, it’s all tiny stuff – waves under 2ft, with the combined energy so weak it’s barely a blip. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and we’ve got a lot of storm risk days. You’d be better off doing anything else.
There is one day that might save it, but it’s a long way off. On Wednesday the 15th of July, the afternoon brings a pulse of 5ft from the SW, with a period around 6 seconds and the combined energy hitting a moderate 165. The game changer here is the wind, going glassy from the NW. That’ll clean it right up. Fair warning though, 5ft is getting a bit big for beginners.
The next morning on Thursday the 16th, the energy jumps to 218, with a 4ft swell from the SW, but the wind swings cross-shore from the SE at 12 mph, which will mess up the surface. Your other shot is Saturday the 18th in the morning, with a 3ft pulse from the SSE and a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The quality score is low, but it’ll be clean. That’s about as good as it gets.
Water temp is about 86°F, which is typical for this time of the year at St Andrews. This spot (beach/jetty, exposed to SW) is usually consistent for beginners, but this forecast is a dud. Honestly, with the wind and tiny waves, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup for most of the period. The 15th is your best shot, but don’t count on it until we get closer.

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.
