The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Honestly, this is a tough stretch for anyone looking to get wet. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. There’s a tiny blip of some small swell around the very start, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
From Friday the 17th, we’ve got tiny waves at Woodlands Beach. We’re talking swell heights of just 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a weak combined energy that only gets up to 28 (weak) at its best. The swell direction is coming from the NNE to NE, which is not the optimum direction for this spot. The wind is offshore from the ESE to E, so the water will be clean, but there’s just no power in the lines. The period is short, around 7 to 9 seconds, so it’s just windslop. It’s poor surf conditions all the way through the first week.
Then, from the 24th of July right through to the 1st of August, there’s no swell at all. The combined energy drops to zero. You’d be looking at a flat, glassy lake. The water temperature is around 83°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The only break in the data is Woodlands Beach, and it’s rated as inconsistent. With a setup like this, when it’s barely a ripple and the wind is up, it’s more of a kite session than a paddle. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up.
There’s nothing to highlight as a standout. It’s just a waiting game.

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.
