The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Woodlands Beach. If you're hoping for a cracking run over the next couple of weeks, I'd say temper your expectations. The water temp is sitting right around 84°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock to the system.
We're looking at a long, quiet stretch here. There's a big gap right at the start with nothing worth paddling for. The first real flicker of hope doesn't arrive until Monday the 31st of August. The afternoon sees a bit of a pulse with a 5ft swell from the east-northeast, but it's being called marginal, with combined energy at 702, which is moderate. Tuesday the 1st of September morning keeps that moderate energy (210) with a 3ft swell from the east-northeast, and the wind is offshore out of the east-southeast, so it'll be clean. That's probably your best, and really only, short window of half-decent surf. After that, it drops right back off into poor, tiny conditions for the rest of the run, with combined energy levels dropping into the double digits and weak. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, but with swell barely registering, it's just flat and clean.
So, honestly, for the whole 16-day outlook, there's only one brief moment that's worth a look. The standout is the Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning window at the end of August and start of September. The Monday afternoon has that 5ft east-northeast swell, and Tuesday morning brings a cleaner 3ft offer with a solid offshore wind. It's a consistent spot, so it'll come back, but this run is a tough one. Not much to write home about.
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.
