The Lowdown
Alright, let me talk you through the next 16 days for Woodlands Beach.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run. We’ve got a massive gap of nothing at the start. The first sign of any real surf doesn’t show up until Tuesday, 1st September. Up until then, it’s flat as a tack. A few tiny, weak swells roll through but they’re all less than 2 ft with poor conditions – not worth a second look.
That Tuesday morning, 1st September, is the one and only standout. We get a jump up to a 4 ft swell out of the ENE. The combined energy hits a moderate 276, so there’s finally some push behind it. The wind is offshore from the SE at 12 mph, which will keep things clean. It’s not huge, so it’s fine for most abilities, but the catch is that Woodlands Beach is an inconsistent spot, so don't bank on it just yet. The swell period is short at 10 seconds, so it’s not the most powerful groundswell, but it’s the best we’ll see.
After that Tuesday morning, things drop off again. We get a few days with waist-high stuff around 3 ft to 3 ft, but the winds are mostly cross-off or moderate offshore, and the quality is marked as ordinary. Nothing exciting. By the second week, into September, it’s back to tiny, weak swells with moderate to fresh offshore winds – clean but barely rideable.
Water temp on the 24th August was sitting at 84°F with a pretty normal anomaly, so about average for the time of year.
Bottom line: If you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning the 1st September is your window. Otherwise, it’s a long, dry stretch.

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.
