The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee mate, I’ve had a deep look at the charts for Woodlands Beach, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet picture overall. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, poor-quality surf with no proper standouts. The water temp is sitting at about 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no surprises there.
The whole 16-day window kicks off from Tuesday the 4th of August, but there’s nothing worth paddling out for. We’ve got tiny dribbles mostly under 2 ft for the first week, with weak combined swell energy (mostly below 100), and east-northeast winds that are mostly cross-off or offshore but just too strong, frequently 15 to 19 mph. The swell direction is often north-northeast or east-northeast, but size never shows up. The only real blip of wave energy comes around Friday the 7th afternoon, with a combined energy reading of 106, but that’s a junky 4 ft of 6-second windswell – not worth the paddle out. Expect crowds sometimes here, but honestly, so will everyone else because there’s nothing else on offer.
Moving into the second week, there is a small window where the energy gets very high – Sunday the 16th of August morning shows a combined energy of 412, but again, it’s poor surf conditions. That’s 6 ft of east-northeast windswell at 8 seconds, with a fresh 19 mph cross-off wind. It might look like you can ride something, but the quality is flagged as poor, so it’s a miss. By Monday the 17th, it drops back to tiny 1 ft junk. The setup here is a beach break, and with these strong onshore or cross-off winds and short-period swell, honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
We’re talking a solid 16-day gap with no halfway decent surf. It’s one of those stretches where you find something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, put the board away.

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.
