The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Woodlands Beach. We’ve got a long stretch of hardly any surf to speak of, and the few days that do show something won’t be worth paddling out for. The first real hope comes on Thursday the 30th of July, but even that’s a stretch.
Right now, and for most of the next week, we’re dealing with tiny waves. Wednesday the 15th through to Tuesday the 22nd, the swell is barely flickering – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft from the north or north-northeast, with a short period that’s got no push. The energy is weak, nothing above 24 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is offshore or cross-off from the east, so the water might look clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Water temperature is about average for the time of year at 82°.
Then from Wednesday the 23rd, things change a little. On Thursday the 23rd, we get a pulse of 4ft to 4ft swell from the east-northeast, but it’s only a 7-second period – that’s short-period wind swell, lumpy and lacking shape. The energy hits a moderate 139 (combined energy of all swells directed here), but the wave comment says poor surf conditions. The wind is cross-off from the east at 22 mph, which isn’t ideal. After that, it drops back to flat from Friday the 24th through to Tuesday the 29th. Nothing.
The only real standout – and I’m being generous – is Thursday the 30th of July. The morning shows 4ft swell from the east-northeast, with an 8-second period, and the energy is strong at 207 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is offshore from the east at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean. But the wave comment says marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions. It’s not a total loss, but it’s far from perfect. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is one of those stretches where you’d be better off doing something else.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change, but right now, there’s not much to get excited about.

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.
