The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Tip Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of ordinary days to wade through before we get any real quality. The water's sitting at a pretty standard 59°F for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first few days are pretty grim. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th offer some small, clean waves, but the swell is weak—around 2ft to 4ft from the SW—and the energy is low (200 to 127). It's surfable, but only just. Saturday the 8th morning is glassy with a tiny 2ft SE swell, but the energy is barely there (55). You'd be scratching for a ride.
There's a real lull from Sunday the 9th through to Monday the 11th, with most sessions either too small, onshore, or just plain poor. The standout in the first week is a big, ugly pulse on Monday the 10th. We get a solid 8ft SW swell, but it's hammered by 28 mph winds. The combined energy is massive (950), but the conditions are chaotic. It's more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
The real standout for the whole period is Thursday the 20th of August. The morning looks magic. We've got a clean 4ft S groundswell with a long 12-second period, glassy conditions from the NNW, and the energy is solid (471). This is the pick of the bunch. The swell direction is a little off from the optimum SE, but with that long period and zero wind, Tip Beach should be offering some clean, lined-up waves. It's a bit of a wait, but that one's worth marking on the calendar.
Friday the 21st of August morning also has some potential. A 8ft SW swell with a 9-second period and light winds, but the energy is ramping up (1025). That's getting into the big and powerful range, more suited to experienced surfers. The afternoon looks a bit messier.
Overall, there's a lot of flat and average stuff to sit through. The 20th of August morning is your best bet by a long shot. Keep an eye on it, but it's a long-range call so don't book the day off just yet.
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.
