The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's be real with each other. The next couple of weeks are a total dry spell for any real waves. I'm looking at a whole lot of nothing, so don't get your hopes up.
We've got a long gap of flat, weak surf from now through the 16-day window. The swell energy is just pathetic, mostly in the low teens. It's the kind of ocean that's flat enough to water-ski on if you were so inclined.
There's a single standout, but it's not saying much. On the afternoon of Sunday the 9th, we might see a bump to 3ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period. The energy gets up to 106, which is at least in the moderate range. Monday the 10th is similar, with 3ft from the ENE, a 6-second period, and energy at 111. It's still going to be a mess, but it's the biggest we'll get. The wind will be cross-off, so it'll be clean, but with that short of a period, it will be sectiony and fat.
Woodlands Beach is the spot, but it's an inconsistent, beginner break, and it's not showing any signs of life. Wave heights are mostly under 1ft, and the periods are all over the shop, mostly in that weak and short range. The wind is often blowing offshore, which would be sweet, but with no swell pushing through, it just means glassy flatness.
Water temperature is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. From the 12th on, it just gets worse, with energy dropping back into the single digits. There's a swell on the 14th with a long 12-second period, but it's only 0.3ft, so it's a phantom pulse.
To be honest, a kite surfer might love this stretch. With the clean, blown-out conditions and no waves to worry about, it looks more fun for them than for us. As for surfing, it's a dead loss. It's a blank run, which is more common for this area, but that doesn't make it any less of a bummer.

Information about the Woodlands Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Woodlands Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Woodlands Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Woodlands 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 (Woodlands 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 Woodlands 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.
