The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Woodlands Beach, and I’ve got to level with you – it’s a grim 16 days for surf. There’s a massive, flat gap staring us in the face for almost the entire run.
The only moment that even looks like it might have a pulse is first thing Sunday, August 30th. That morning we’ve got a 7ft swell coming from the ENE, with a period around 10 seconds. Combined wave energy clocks in at 895 (moderate to strong), so there’s some weight behind it. But here’s the kicker: the wind is screaming out of the SE at 18 mph, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. Yes, it’s an offshore wind technically, but it’s a strong, stormy one. At that size, 7ft is going to be too much for the beginners this spot usually sees, and the quality is going to be poor with the wind and weather. After that Sunday, the plug gets pulled. From Monday, August 31st all the way through early September, the swell drops to a pathetic 0.3ft or 0.6ft. The combined wave energy falls into the single digits or low double digits – that’s weak, minimal bump. The wind stays steady out of the east, mostly offshore or cross-offshore at 15-22 mph, so the surface is clean, but there are no waves to surf. It’s a flat spell that stretches for over a week. Around September 9th and 10th, we see a tiny increase to a 1ft swell from the NE, with periods of 11-12 seconds. The energy just hits 49 (still weak). It’s clean, with offshore breezes, but 1ft is barely ankle-high. Not surfable. The last entry on September 14th shows a 0.6ft swell from the NNW, giving a weak 13 energy reading.
There’s nothing to recommend here. The water is probably about average temperature for the season, so that’s small comfort. If you’re a kiter, those consistent offshore winds over the flat days might be something, but for anyone with a surfboard under their arm, this is a write-off. That first Sunday morning was the only chance, and it was a rough one. Sometimes nature just gives you a zero.
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.
