The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you: the next 16 days at Woodlands Beach are a tough watch. The forecast shows a long stretch of barely-rideable, weak swell and persistent easterly wind. From the start of the outlook on Wednesday, August 5th, through to the end of the run on Thursday, August 20th, the wave energy is just too low and the periods are too short to get excited about.
The first real pulse of swell shows up on Friday, August 7th, with a 4ft ENE swell, but it’s a short-period 6 second wind swell, so it’s going to be lumpy and fat. The combined energy climbs to 107 (moderate), but it’s still ‘poor surf conditions’. The next day, Saturday, August 8th, is a total flat day with 0.7ft swell and combined energy of just 8 (weak). Not worth waxing up.
Sunday, August 9th, sees the best of the bunch: 4ft ENE swell, 6-second period, and combined energy of 163 (moderate). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the swell is short-period and a bit soft. It’s the only time the swell tickles over 3ft, and even then it’s not enough to get the heart pumping. For a beginner, that 4ft is borderline, but with the short period it’ll be forgiving.
The rest of the run is a tragic story of small, weak, short-period swell and strong offshore winds. From Monday, August 10th onwards, the swell drops back to 0.7–1ft, and the combined energy slumps to single or low double digits. The water temperature anomaly is not flagged, so it’s pretty average for the time of year.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the strong easterly wind (up to 25 mph) and the small, clean surf might look interesting. But for paddle surfing? There’s nothing here to get excited about. The best you’ll find is the Sunday morning, August 9th, with that 4ft ENE swell – it’s still only a 6-second period, so expect short, bumpy rides. It’s the only thing that even qualifies as a stand-out, and it’s a very low bar.
The rest of the 16 days is a near-complete blank. Woodlands is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a perfect example of that. Forecasts can change, but right now, save the wax.

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.
