Table - best surf conditions forecast for St Andrews State Park over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – looking at the whole 16-day window for St Andrews State Park (beach/jetty), it’s a long, flat stretch. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim’s good.
Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The entire forecast is a write-off for surf. From now right through to July 22nd, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.3m to 0.9m at best, with short-period windswell of just 3 to 7 seconds. In feet, that’s about 1 to 3 ft. The combined energy never cracks three digits, mostly sitting between 4 and 67 (weak energy). On top of that, the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore from WSW or SW, chopping up what little bump there is.
There are a couple of glassy mornings – Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th – with calm wind and tiny 0.4m (1 ft) swell from the SSE at 6 seconds, but the energy is still only 13 and 12. That’s barely a ripple. It’s not surfable, just flat with a bit of texture.
With nothing but weak, short-period swell and persistent onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no standouts – not one day worth chasing. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a long dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
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.
