The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's cookin' at Tip Beach.
Alright, the next couple of weeks at Tip Beach are a bit of a mixed bag. We're starting off with a real slow period, nothing to get excited about for a few days. The first few days are all about tiny, weak waves, but then things get interesting.
Saturday the 18th is a washout. We've got a tiny 0.7ft swell from the south with a super long period, but the energy is basically nothing at 66. It's not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 19th is a little better. The morning glass-off with a 2ft south swell is a step up. The energy is moderate at 238, and with those clean, glassy conditions, it'll be a fun little session for a longboard. The 13-second period will give it some shape.
Monday the 20th is the first real standout. Morning glass again, with a 4ft swell from the east-northeast. The combined energy is 479, so it's got some punch. The wind is glassy, and the waves will be clean. If you can get out there, it's the pick of the first week.
After that, things get a bit wobbly. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are small and clean, but nothing to write home about. Then we get a big shift.
Thursday the 23rd through to the end of the month sees a lot of wind. The swell builds, but it's messy. On Thursday the 23rd, we've got a 7ft swell from the south-southwest, but it's a short period of 8 seconds and the wind is howling at 15 mph. The energy is solid at 532, but it's gonna be a bumpy, blown-out mess. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
The real nugget is way out there, on Sunday the 2nd of August. This is the one you wait for. A 8ft swell from the east-northeast rolls in with a massive 1913 energy reading. The wind is glassy in the morning, and it's an offshore wind from the north-northeast. This is a serious swell, only for experienced surfers at that size. The period is 11 seconds, so it should have some decent shape, but it's a big, powerful wave. If you're up for it, that's the one to circle on the calendar. Crowds are possible there, so get in early.
The water temperature is about 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Alright, that's the story. Stay sharp.

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.
