The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We're looking at a long, flat stretch ahead.
Woodlands Beach is the only game in town, and it's going to be a quiet one. The water temp is 84°F, which is about average for this time of year. Right now, on Saturday morning, we're looking at waves of about 0.3ft with a weak north swell and a short 8-second period. The energy is almost non-existent (2), so it's more of a lazy float than a surf. The offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph would keep it clean, but there's no swell to groom.
We've got a major gap here. The surf stays below 0.7ft through Monday and Tuesday, and even when it bumps up to 1ft and 2ft mid-week, the period stretches to 10-12 seconds. That’s a bit more push, but the energy is still weak, maxing out around 68 on Tuesday afternoon. The wind continues from the east, either offshore or cross-offshore, so the surface should stay clean, but with these sizes, it's hard to get stoked. It's not going to be worth the paddle.
The second week, starting the 14th, doesn't offer any hope. Swell heights stay between 0.3ft and 1ft, with periods dropping back to 7-9 seconds. The energy numbers are mostly in single digits or low twenties. The wind stays consistent from the east, but that means nothing when there’s no wave to push. This looks like it’s going to be a long, flat spell.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is blowing, but there's no wave for our boards. Hang tight, maybe check the forecast again next week, but for now, the only thing on offer is a flat, clean ocean.
Rusty, out.

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.
