The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Woodlands Beach. The charts are showing a long quiet spell, so let’s talk straight.
The first week, from Sunday the 9th through Saturday the 15th of August, is a total write-off. Wave heights are stuck below 2 ft, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with combined energy in the weak range (14 to 50). That east wind is blowing 15 to 28 mph, and while it’s keeping the surface clean with offshore or cross-off flow, there’s just no power in the water. You’d be wasting your time.
The real focus is Monday the 18th of August morning. That’s the standout. We’ve got a 4 ft swell rolling in from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy jumps to 306 (moderate). The wind turns light offshore from the ESE at just 6 mph – clean, glassy conditions. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is about average for the season. This is the session to aim for. Just be aware, Woodlands is an inconsistent break, so you’re rolling the dice a little, but this is the best bet by a long shot.
Before that, Sunday the 16th of August morning has a bigger 6 ft swell from the ENE with 8-second periods and strong energy (411), but with a 19 mph cross-off wind, it’s a wind-blown mess. Steer clear.
The rest of the second week from the 19th onward dries up completely – back to knee-high dribble with waves under 1 ft and no energy. The wind is light and glassy or offshore, so it’s pretty water, but not for surfing.
So, you’ve got a big gap of nothing until the 18th. That Monday morning is your only real opportunity for a fun, clean wave. After that, it’s back to waiting. Classic quiet stretch for this area, but the forecasts can always change.
Rusty.

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.
