The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. There’s barely a ripple on offer, so temper those expectations.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, Woodlands Beach is the only game in town, and it’s a frustrating one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Friday the 4th of September all the way through the 16-day window, the swell is tiny—we're talking 0.3 ft to 2 ft at best. The wind, mostly offshore from the East, will keep the surface clean, but that doesn’t matter much when there’s nothing to ride. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for most of the run, peaking at a paltry 62 (moderate) on the 10th of September, but that’s still just 2 ft of weak, short-period chop. It’s the kind of setup that’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The water’s sitting at about 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least the dip won’t be cold.
There are no standouts here. Not a single day offers surfable quality. The ratings are all zeros, and every comment reads "poor surf conditions." It’s one of those blanks runs that’s more normal for the area, unfortunately. The only thing worth noting is that on the morning of the 11th of September, the wind kicks up to 25 mph – strong offshore, clean as a whistle, but you’d be fighting a losing battle trying to paddle into the tiny, weak 1 ft swell. You’d be better off staying on the beach.
Don’t lose hope, though. When the ocean is this flat, it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on the horizon. For now, my honest advice is to wax the longboard and give it a shot if you’re desperate, or just wait for the next proper pulse.
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.
