The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for Tip Beach over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get straight into it.
To be honest, the first few days are a bit flat and messy. Thursday the 3rd has tiny surf with poor conditions, so not worth paddling out. Keep the board in the car for now.
Your first real chance comes Friday, the 4th. That morning is looking like a cracker. We get a glassy 4ft swell from the southwest. The water is about average for this time of year at 59°. That clean, calm surface is a major positive, and the wave energy is moderate (252). It's not a monster, but for a clean session with no wind, it's a solid go.
Saturday the 5th is a write-off in the morning with weak, messy waves, but the afternoon sees a fresh offshore wind from the west cleaning up a small 3ft northeast swell. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Sunday the 6th morning has some size at 7ft from the southwest with moderate energy (772), but a solid cross-off wind makes it tricky. It's more of a challenge than a pleasure.
The standout window looks like the morning of Thursday, September 10th. That's over a week away, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the numbers are promising. We've got a solid 6ft swell rolling in from the southwest, and the wave energy is very strong (1516). It's a groundswell with an 11-second period, so it will have some punch and shape. The winds are a clean cross-off. This is the best the forecast has to offer.
Friday morning the 11th still holds decent 5ft swell with a longer 12-second period, and clean cross-off conditions again. It's a good follow-up session.
The following week looks mediocre. Monday the 14th morning has a 5ft southwest swell with a gentle offshore wind making for clean waves, but it's just a blip before the conditions go downhill again with strengthening onshore winds later in the week. The final few days are a write-off with rain and strong onshore wind, producing choppy, stormy surf.
Overall, the pick of the fortnight is the morning of Thursday, September 10th at Tip Beach. That southwest swell with clean winds will be the time to get out there. The earlier Friday morning session is also a good call. The rest of the period is mostly for the die-hards or the patient.

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.
