The Lowdown
Alright, it's Rusty here, and I have to be straight with you – the forecast for Alabama Point is a real bummer. We're looking at a 16-day window with nothing but poor surf conditions and tiny, weak swells. There are no standout days, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of flatness.
The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only interesting thing going on.
Right now, we're in the middle of a long stretch of poor waves. The energy is almost non-existent, with the combined swell energy rarely getting above a measly 6. The swell is tiny, coming from the SW at a pathetic 3 seconds period. That's not even a swell, it's just wind chop.
We'll see a slight bump in energy on the 25th of August, with combined energy hitting 24, and a few pulses of SE swell with periods up to 7 seconds. But the surf is still poor, and the wind is messy. On the 26th of August, the morning looks clean with a light NE cross-off breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft from the SE at 6 seconds. It's a tease, not a session.
There's a tiny glimmer on the 27th of August morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft SE swell, but the energy is weak (19). And again on the 29th of August morning, we get glassy conditions with a 2ft S swell. But these are crumbs, not meals.
The truth is, Alabama Point is a fairly consistent break, so this blank run is a bit unusual, but it’s what we’ve got. Forecasts can change, so don't lose all hope, but for now, the only thing hitting the beach is the warm air. Keep your board waxed and your eyes peeled for a better forecast.
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.
