The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s see what’s cooking for Woodlands Beach. This stretch is a beginner-friendly, inconsistent sand setup that’s gonna need a lot of patience over the next couple of weeks. The water temp here is sitting around 84°F which is about average for this time of year.
Truth be told, we’re looking at a long, lean spell to kick things off. From now, right through the rest of August, it’s pretty much a flat-line. We’ve got tiny waves, mostly around 0.7 to 1ft, with moderate to fresh east winds blowing offshore or cross-offshore. It’s clean, sure, but there’s just no push behind it – the combined swell energy is stuck in the weak single digits (9, 7, 10) for days on end. Not a single decent ride in there for the standard paddle surfer.
There is a flicker of life on Monday the 24th of August, early morning. A 7ft swell from the ENE pops up, with the combined energy hitting a moderate 481. That’s a fair bump, but it’s short period (8 seconds) and more than 5ft, so it’ll be a bit much for beginners at this exposed beach. Plus, the surfline calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” Might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a dedicated surfer.
Then we drop back to nothing. The rest of the month and into early September is a repeat of the same story: tiny, anemic swells from the north to north-northeast, period mostly under 11 seconds, and energy below 25. It’s all clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride. The standout? Honestly, the best chance for any kind of wave is that Monday morning the 24th, but don’t expect much quality. The rest is a blank run for the paddle crew.

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.
