Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards for St Andrews State Park. I'm gonna be straight with you: it's a pretty bleak run. We’re looking at a solid stretch of small, weak, and wind-affected surf for the next couple of weeks, so you might want to keep that gear in the shed for a while.
The outlook kicks off on Thursday, the 2nd of July, with nothing doing at all. The energy is completely flat (0) and winds are messy. This sets the tone for the whole period. We have a near-continuous gap with barely a wave worth mentioning all the way through to the end of the outlook on the 17th of July. The swell never gets its act together. The best we see is a tiny 3ft swell popping up a couple of times, but even that is coming with onshore or cross-onshore winds which will chop it right up.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But with no real swell, that’s small comfort.
Looking at St Andrews State Park, which is a beach and jetty setup, it's exposed to SW swells, and that's what we get a tiny hint of on the afternoon of Thursday, 9th July. The combined energy hits a measly 20 (weak), with a 2ft swell from the WSW, but it's got a short 5-second period and onshore wind. It's still a no-go for paddling. The only option that maybe, just maybe, looks half-interesting is kite surfing, because there’s often decent wind with the poor surf quality.
Honestly, there are no standout days here. The forecasts are reliable because it’s short-range, and it’s just saying the same thing – small, weak, and blown out. For an area with a break that is known to be consistent, this is a real bummer, but it won’t stay this way forever. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
