The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Woodlands Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly mate, it's a pretty bleak picture overall. We're staring down a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for right now. The first bit of any kind of action doesn't show up until Sunday morning the 26th, but it's not exactly something to write home about. There's a tiny pulse of swell from the ENE at 4 ft with a short 8-second period, and while the wind is offshore and clean, the wave energy is weak (178). It’s surfable, but ordinary. That little window fades fast, and then we hit a massive gap.
From Monday the 27th right through to Friday the 31st, it’s essentially flat or near-flat. The wind stays clean and often offshore, but there’s just no swell to work with. On the afternoon of the 31st, some swell tries to push in again, with 5 ft from the ENE and an 8-second period, giving us a moderate energy reading of 341, but the conditions are still called poor. It’s a tease, not a winner.
The best chance, and I mean the *only* real standout in this whole 16-day window, comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning is flat, but the afternoon shows a pulse of 4 ft from the ENE with a 9-second period and moderate energy (276). The wind is offshore, clean, and there's a risk of thunderstorms. For a spot that's inconsistent and exposed to NNW swell, this ENE pulse is actually a decent angle. At this size, it's fine for most surfers, though beginners might find it a touch challenging as it pushes past 3 ft. The water temp is about 83°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
After that, and through the second week, it's back to the doldrums. We see some very small, short-period swells from the north and northeast, but the energy readings drop to just 2 or 3—basically nothing. The wind stays clean and offshore, but without any real push, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
So to sum it up: if you're desperate, the afternoon of the 26th July is a maybe, and the afternoon of the 1st August is your best bet. Everything else is a line of zeros. For an area that's this inconsistent, a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary, but it still hurts to see.
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.
