The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you—Woodlands Beach is looking at a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. There’s a big stretch of nothing coming up, so don’t get your hopes up.
The next 16 days are mostly a write-off. We’re looking at a long gap of poor surf right from the start. From Sunday the 19th through to Saturday the 26th, the swell is tiny, the energy is basically non-existent, and the wave heights are barely a ripple. You’ll see a few days of 0.6ft to 2ft, mostly from the NNE or NE, with periods so short they’re not worth paddling for. The wind is a constant issue too—persistent easterly breezes, often fresh or strong, keeping things messy. It’s a classic case of waiting for something to change.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning sees a lift to 4ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 207 (moderate). It’s still not great, just marginal, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is offshore from the east, moderate breeze, so the surface will be clean. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Then it’s right back to nothing for days. The next sniff of potential comes on Monday the 3rd of August, with a morning bump to 4ft from the ENE, period of 7 seconds, and energy of 165 (moderate). The wind is fresh offshore and clean, so it looks rideable, but it’s still a long way off and the energy is only moderate. Don’t book the day off work just yet.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the only two windows worth watching are the mornings of the 26th of July and the 3rd of August. Even then, it’s not going to be pumping. The swell is small, the period is short, and it’s a beach break, so it’ll be weak and crumbly. For the rest of the time, the blank runs are long and there’s simply nothing to get excited about.
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.
