The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Let's be real – this is a rough one for Alabama Point. Over the next 16 days, there's nothing that gets me excited. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Right from the start, we've got almost nothing. Tiny swells from the south and southeast, with combined energy readings barely cracking 1 or 2. The first week, from Saturday the 18th right through the end of July, is a write-off. Even when we get a little bump, like 0.7m to 0.9m, the wind is either wrong or the swell period is too short to do anything with it. It's all weak, short-period windswell.
There's a massive gap of days where the commentary is just "poor surf conditions." It's a real bummer.
The only half-decent window I can see is on Tuesday the 28th of July, in the afternoon. We get a 0.9m swell from the WSW, and a moderate offshore wind from the NW. The combined energy finally gets to 41, which is a little more promising. The description says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that's about right. It's not a good day, it's just the only day I'd even consider paddling out.
After that, it's back to the same story: tiny surf, onshore winds, and no power. The water temp is a warm 29°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Bottom line: leave your board at home. This is a classic flat spell for this break. It won't stay this boring forever, but for now, there's nothing on offer.
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.
