The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Tip Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, things are looking pretty average actually. We've got a bit of a wait for anything worth paddling out for. There's a gap there, so if you're itching for a wave, you'll be sitting on the beach for a couple of days.
Monday 7th is messy. We've got a 4 ft S swell but with a short period of 8 seconds and a 12 mph cross-off westerly wind. The water's sitting at 60°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's something nice. But the combined energy is weak at 224, so don't expect much.
Now, Tuesday 8th is where it starts to look interesting. The morning is the real standout here. The wind goes completely glassy, which is a rare treat. That 5 ft SSE swell with an 8-second period will be clean as a whistle. The conditions are set to be good. Get out there early because it'll be worth it.
Thursday 10th morning brings a bigger pulse. A 7 ft S swell with a 10-second period, cross-off wind from the WSW at 16 mph. The energy jumps up to a strong 1209, so there's some proper power in the water. This one is more for the experienced crew as it's pushing 7 ft.
Friday 11th and Saturday 12th are still okay, but not as punchy. Saturday morning has another glassy spell with a light 4 ft S swell, but the energy is much lower at 295. It's surfable, but you'll be hunting for the better ones.
The second week gets a bit patchy again. There's a spike on Tuesday 15th September with a 8 ft SW swell, but the wind is strong at 16 mph, making it a bit of a handful. That wave energy is up at 927, so it has grunt, but it's not clean.
Overall, the best sessions are without a doubt the Tuesday 8th morning glass-off and the bigger, but more challenging, Thursday 10th morning. Keep an eye on the wind, because when it's light, Tip Beach can really turn it on. The crowds can show up sometimes, so keep that in mind for the good windows.
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.
