The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s cooking.
Straight off, there’s no real surf to start. The first proper chance to get wet is Monday afternoon, the 14th, and it’s a mixed forecast over the next couple weeks. The first week has some fun windows, but nothing massive. The second week gets quieter, with smaller, weaker swells.
The best bet early on is Monday afternoon, the 14th, at Tip Beach. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NE with a short 7-second period, pushing moderate wave energy (233). The big win here is the wind – dead calm, glassy. That means smooth, clean faces. It’s not a big swell, but for an afternoon session with zero wind chop, it’s a real treat. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
After that, we get a bigger, messier pulse. Tuesday the 15th has a 6ft SW swell with a fresh 30 km/h cross-off wind. The conditions are clean, but that wind strength makes it a battle, and the energy is strong (703). Wednesday the 16th is expert territory – 10ft SSW swell with 30 km/h cross-off winds. That’s big (1084 combined energy in the morning), and for a beach break, it’ll be heavy and straight. Too big for most.
We get a reset by Friday morning, the 18th. A 4ft SW swell with a gentle 15 km/h cross-off breeze, moderate energy (389). Clean and surfable, but nothing special. Swell then drops off through the weekend into the second week, with tiny waves and poor conditions.
The next real bright spot is Sunday afternoon, the 20th. A 4ft SW swell with a nice 15 km/h offshore wind from the NW. Moderate energy (359) and proper offshore wind mean clean, lined-up waves. That’s probably the best call for the tail end of the first week.
The second week gets thin. Tuesday morning, the 22nd, has a small 3ft S swell with glassy light wind, but it’s weak (157 energy) and just barely surfable. The rest of the week into the 29th is mostly poor – small, choppy, or onshore wind, with combined energy dropping below 100 at times. Not much to chase.
Bottom line: Monday afternoon, the 14th, for that glassy calm, and Sunday afternoon, the 20th, for a clean offshore session are your best calls. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big for this break. Blank spells happen, but it won’t stay like this long.
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.
