The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk Alabama Point. Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for waves. We’ve got a long run of nothing happening. For the first several days, swell is barely a ripple— 0.2m to 0.3m—with mostly side-off or cross winds. The combined energy numbers are pitiful, sitting between 2 and 8 for most of that time. That’s flat, lifeless water.
Monday 13th kicks off with a thunderstorm risk and a 0.2m SSE swell at a 5-second period. Not worth paddling out. Tuesday and Wednesday are just as small, though Thursday morning the 16th goes glassy—still only 0.2m and flat.
There’s a tiny clean window on Friday morning the 17th with 0.3m from the SW and light cross-off wind, but it’s barely enough to stand up on. Then we hit a total dead zone from the 20th through the 23rd, with zero swell for days. That’s a real lull.
The best we get is right at the end. Saturday July 25th morning brings 0.6m from the SSW, a 4-second period, but a fresh cross-off from the NW at 30 km/h. It’ll be clean, and the combined energy hits 12—our best reading. It’s still only small waves, but for a morning session with a bit of shape, that’s the standout.
Water temp on the 13th is 31°, running 2° warmer than average, so it’s bathwater warm. The rest of the second week is small with onshore breezes and more thunderstorms. No real excitement.
Alabama Point is usually fairly consistent, so this stretch of flatness is a bit out of the ordinary. Could change, but for now, keep the board in the car.
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.
