The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good hard look at what Woodlands Beach is serving up over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a quiet start, and we’re gonna have to be patient.

For the first week and a half, we are looking at a real flat spell. From now through to around the 23rd of September, there is barely a ripple worth paddling for. We’re talking tiny 0.3 ft to 2 ft slop with combined wave energy barely cracking 20 to 30 (weak energy) at best. Sure, the wind is often offshore from the east, keeping things clean, but with such tiny swell and short periods under 8 seconds, there’s just no power behind it. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this stretch is a write-off. You’d be better off checking the tide pools.

Now, things start to stir on Thursday the 24th of September. That morning, we see a pulse arrive: 2 ft from the north with a long period of 15 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 187 (moderate energy). That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s a sign of life. By Thursday afternoon, the swell lifts to 2 ft from the north-northeast, period holding at 14 seconds, and combined energy climbs to 303 (moderate energy). The wind stays light and offshore, so conditions should be clean. This is the standout of the whole run. For a spot that doesn’t break often, this is a real window. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F with an anomaly of 0.7°F, so about average for this time of year – lovely warm water.

Friday the 25th of September pushes up a bit more size – 4 ft from the north-northeast in the morning with a 13-second period and combined energy of 459 (moderate to strong energy). The wind is offshore, so the waves will look alright, but the surf report calls it marginal, so don’t expect perfection. The afternoon drops slightly to 3 ft but with 513 combined energy (strong energy). The wind turns cross-off, so it’s still rideable but not as glassy. This swell is best handled by intermediate to experienced surfers – 4 ft is fine for most, but the bigger sets could test beginners.

After that, we taper off. Saturday the 26th of September sees 3 ft from the north-northeast, period dropping to 12 seconds, combined energy at 266 (moderate energy), but winds get stronger and cross-off, so it’s not as clean. From Sunday the 27th onward, we’re back to 2 ft and smaller with combined energy dropping below 150, and the surf fades into the ordinary range. The long-period nature of this swell means it might break a bit straight at a beach setup like Woodlands, so don’t expect perfection, but for a few days there, it’s the best we’ve got.

All in all, the only real highlight is Thursday the 24th and maybe Friday the 25th of September. Everything before that is a flat, clean but empty ocean. If you’re keen, mark that Thursday afternoon session – light offshore wind, moderate groundswell, warm water, and a break that rarely lines up. That’s the one to chase.

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.
