The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for Alabama Point over the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, poor surf, so don't get your hopes up.
The first real sign of any wave energy doesn’t show up until the 13th of September, and even then it’s a struggle. From now until that point, the ocean is basically dead. There’s a big gap of nothing. The water is a warm 86° here, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’s pleasant for a swim.
On the morning of Sunday the 13th, we see a weak pulse of swell from the east, but it’s only 2 ft with a short, gutless 4-second period. The combined wave energy is a feeble 11, and it’s blowing onshore from the ESE at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. This is not one for the paddle board. With that onshore wind and small, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for a marginal session than a traditional surfer.
The afternoon of the 14th sees a tiny bump to 2 ft from the ESE, but again the period is a terrible 4 seconds and the wind is onshore. That’s the best we get, and it’s still poor. A few other mornings have clean offshore winds, like the 10th or the 19th, but there’s simply no swell to work with.
There are no standouts here. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the summer patterns settle in. Keep your board in the car, but don’t rush to the water. Things can change, but for now, it’s a flat spell.
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.
