The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, this is a grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. The forecast is just flat, with barely a ripple to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out for a while.
The first realistic chance of getting wet doesn’t come until the very end of the 16-day window. Before that, from July 14th right through to July 26th, the surf is virtually non-existent. We’re talking about swell heights often below 1 feet and combined swell energy levels that are barely a whisper (anywhere from 1 to 7). It’s just not worth the effort.
The only spot we have on the cards is Alabama Point. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 87°, which is nice, but it’s not enough to save the surf.
There is a tiny flicker of hope on Sunday, July 26th. The afternoon shows a slight bump in the swell, with a 3 foot wave from the SW. The combined energy is still weak (38), but it’s something. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit choppy.
Then, the best of a bad bunch shows up on Monday, July 27th. The morning swell pushes to 4 feet from the SW, with a combined energy of 51. It’s still weak, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so expect some bump. For a beginner break, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast, and it’s not saying much. The swell is coming from the SW, which is off-optimum for this spot, and the period is short (5 seconds), so the waves will be weak and crumbly.
After that, Tuesday and Wednesday (July 28th and 29th) see the swell drop back down to the 2 to 3 foot range with weak energy. The wind turns more cross-shore, but it’s still messy.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The whole 16-day run is a write-off. If you’re desperate for a splash, the 27th is your only option, but keep your expectations on the floor. It’s a classic summer 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.
