Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at Alabama Point for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where the ocean just doesn’t want to play ball. For the entire 16-day window, we’re staring at a whole lot of nothing special. From Monday, July 6th, all the way through to Tuesday, July 21st, the surf is flat and offering next to nothing. The combined swell energy barely gets into the double digits for most of the time, maxing out at a weak 32 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on the afternoon of Saturday, July 11th. That’s not enough to get excited about.
We’ve got a consistent theme here: tiny waves, mostly from the south-west or south-south-east, with periods that are short – often just 3 to 6 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. It just doesn’t have any punch. The wind is also a problem. For most of the period it’s cross, cross-on, or cross-off, which is okay for keeping it clean sometimes, but with no real swell to work with, it’s not making any difference. The only real standout in terms of wind is a brief window of glassy conditions on Wednesday morning, July 15th, with a light breeze, but that’s only delivering a wave height of 1 ft from the south-south-west. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Given the consistently poor surf conditions and the lack of any decent size or energy, I can’t point you to any standout break or any particular day that’s worth the trip. The break itself is a breakwater setup, which can sometimes handle a bit of direction, but with the optimum swell coming from the SE and we’re mostly seeing SW or SSE, it’s not matching up. For the beginner crowd, the waves never exceed 5 ft, so it wouldn’t be too big, but they’re also just not there. If you’re absolutely desperate, the glassy Wednesday morning on July 15th might give you a 1 ft ankle-snapper, but don’t expect much.
Overall, it’s a quiet period. When conditions are this poor for so long, you just have to wait it out. The forecast could change, but right now, I’d save the wax for another week.
Rusty.

Information about the Alabama Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alabama Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alabama Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alabama Point 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 (Alabama Point) 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 Alabama Point 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.
