The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what we’ve got on the horizon. The next couple of weeks start real quiet, but there’s a proper little jewel waiting if you’ve got some patience. Get ready for a long dry spell before things finally turn on.
Right now, don’t bother suiting up. From the 24th of August all the way through the morning of the 31st, it’s flat or junk. Tiny little 0.4m swells, mostly weak wind, and the odd glassy morning that’s too small to bother with. Wave energy is all under 100 (weak). Nothing worth your time.
That flips on the afternoon of Monday, the 31st of August. Suddenly a long-period groundswell rolls in from the SE, period a solid 18 seconds, and energy kicks up to 239 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off, so Tices Sholls will look clean. It’s still only 0.5m, but it’s the first real sign of life.
Tuesday the 1st of September gets messy with onshore wind, so hold off. Wednesday the 2nd is where you want to be in the water. Wednesday morning we get 1.0m SE swell, perfect offshore wind from the WNW, and combined energy up at 430 (moderate to strong). It stays clean and builds into the afternoon: 1.1m SE groundswell with a 14-second period, energy hits 544 (strong). Clean, offshore, and fun for everyone.
Now the standout – and I mean the real standout – is Thursday the 3rd of September. The afternoon session is the pick of the whole forecast. We’re looking at a solid 1.6m SE swell, period a very long 15 seconds, and combined energy over 1100 (strong to very strong). Offshore wind, clean conditions. That’s a proper wave. This one’s for experienced surfers only; at 1.6m with that long period, it’ll have some serious push and isn't for beginners. The SE swell direction is exactly what Tices Sholls likes to see.
Friday the 4th of September keeps the goods coming. Morning still has 1.6m ESE swell with offshore wind and energy over 1000. Again, expert territory. Afternoon drops to 1.3m but stays clean and strong.
The water temp is 25°C, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice bonus when you’re waiting for a set.
Crowds at Tices Sholls can pop up sometimes, but with conditions this good on the 3rd and 4th, you’ll want to beat the rush.
After that, it fades back to small and ordinary through the 6th of September. Still, if you can only surf one day, make it Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon. That’s as good as it gets.
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 Tices Sholls 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.
