The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles per hour for you lot. So, for Tip Beach, the same story but in proper units.
The water temp is average for the season, nothing unusual.
The best of the whole forecast is Saturday the 12th in the morning. Tip Beach will be glassy with a light east breeze, waves around 3 feet from the south with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (305), and it’ll be clean fun. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so hit it early. That afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and it goes to mush.
Sunday the 13th morning is glassy again, but the swell drops to 3 feet with low energy (176). It’s surfable, but only just. Afternoon gets choppy.
Monday the 14th morning has a 4 foot north-east swell, but a short 7-second period. It’s clean with a cross-off wind, but that short period means it’s not going to have much power. Energy is moderate (253).
Then we get a rough patch. From Tuesday the 15th through Thursday the 17th, the wind is strong and the swell either gets messy or too big. By Wednesday the 16th afternoon, the swell hits 10 feet with very strong energy (1524), but it’s only for experts and the wind is cross-off. For most, that setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle day. Thursday is still solid at 6 feet but only marginal.
Friday the 18th morning brings a tiny 2 foot south swell, but with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions. Energy is moderate (313). It’ll be inconsistent and small, but those long-period waves will have nice shape for a log.
The second week is mostly quiet. Tuesday the 22nd morning has a 2 foot swell with glassy conditions and low energy (101) – that’s about the best of the flat spell. Thursday the 24th morning has 3 feet and a glassy start, but it gets windy by afternoon.
So, the one to circle on the calendar is Saturday the 12th morning. After that, it’s mostly small or windy. That’s just how it goes.
Rusty.

Information about the Tip Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tip Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tip Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tip Beach 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 (Tip Beach) 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 Tip Beach 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.
