The Lowdown
Gutted, honestly. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a stretch here where there’s just nothing doing – waves are barely pushing past 1ft for days on end. That means no real recommendations for the first 12 days. Yeah, you read that right. From the 9th through the 20th of September, it’s flat to near-flat, with the odd ripple not even worth suiting up for. The swell energy is almost non-existent, sitting in the weak range – we’re talking values like 49, 31, 26, down to a dismal 6 at one point. The wind is mostly offshore and clean, which is a tease because the surface is glassy but there’s simply no power behind it. It’s one of those stretches where it looks pretty but does nothing.
The water temp at the first break we looked at, Woodlands Beach, is sitting at 85°, and that’s about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year. So it’s a touch warm, but nothing crazy – pretty standard for the season.
Now, around the 21st and 22nd, things look like they might finally stir. The 21st afternoon shows a bump to 3ft from the north at 10 seconds, and the energy finally climbs into the moderate range at 138. Morning of the 22nd pushes it a bit more with 3ft and 147 energy. It’s still small, but it’s something. The winds are moderate offshore and clean from the ESE, which will keep things tidy. That Tuesday morning on the 22nd looks like the pick of the bunch, with a bit more push behind it and clean conditions.
The 23rd still has some life with 2ft and 155 energy, but it’s already starting to back off. By the 24th, it’s fading again back down to 2ft and 51 energy.
So honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Tuesday the 22nd is your window, and even then, it’s just ankle to knee-high slop at Woodlands Beach. It’s inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is no exception. Keep the board waxed, but don’t get your hopes up. This one’s 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.
