The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Woodlands Beach. I gotta be straight with you – the outlook is pretty grim. We’re talking about a long run of tiny, weak waves with nothing to get excited about for the vast majority of the period. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s on our side.
The first few days are a write-off. We’re looking at swell heights of only 0.7ft to 1.0ft, with a short period of 8 seconds, coming from the NNE. The combined swell energy is pathetic, reading between 7 and 25. Even with clean offshore winds, a wave that small isn't worth paddling for. This flat spell runs right through until the middle of the month.
Then, out of the blue, on Saturday the 15th of August, we get a spike. The afternoon shows a 7ft swell from the ENE, but with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 571 (moderate), but the wave comment says "poor surf conditions." That’s a red flag. With 25 mph winds coming from the cross-off direction, it’s gonna be a messy, blown-out wall of water. This looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. It’s not for beginners, and even for experts, the quality won’t be there.
After that flash in the pan, it’s right back to the doldrums. From the 16th of August through to the end of the 16-day window, we’re back to 0.3ft to 1.0ft swells, or flat spells with no wave energy at all. There are several days, like the 21st, 23rd, and 25th, where the swell height is a complete zero. The winds are often offshore, keeping the surface clean, but there’s simply nothing to ride.
The one and only time the swell gets over 5ft is that Saturday afternoon, and it’s messy. If you’re desperate for a surf, the best bet is to wait for the tail end of the forecast. On Wednesday the 26th of August, the morning shows a tiny 0.3ft from the NE with a period of 10 seconds and a 8 combined energy. It’s a long shot, but with a light breeze, it might be the only time you can get a knee-high dribbler to yourself. But honestly, this is a blank run. It’s one of those periods where you just have to wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
