The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Alabama Point. We’ve got a 16-day window to look at, but honestly, the surf engine is pretty much asleep for the whole run. The forecast shows zero energy coming in for the first week, and while the second week does kick up a tiny bit of combined energy, it never gets big enough to paddle for. The first real rideable day never shows up within this period, so we’re talking about a long, flat gap that stretches from now—Wednesday, August 5th—all the way through Thursday, August 20th.
The water temperature is sitting right around 85°F, which is just about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
What little we get is barely a whisper. Throughout the whole stretch, the swell stays tiny, mostly from the SSE or SE, with periods of 4 to 9 seconds. That’s short-period, weak windswell. The combined energy of all swells directed here only reaches a maximum of 22 (that’s weak energy, folks) for the morning of Thursday, August 13th. Even then, the swell height is only 2ft. The winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There are a few windows of clean conditions with lighter offshore winds, like the mornings of August 15th, 16th, 17th, and 20th, but the swell is still just 0.7ft to 1.0ft. No wave to hold onto.
Alabama Point is a breakwater setup, exposed to the SE, and it’s fairly consistent here, but when the swell is this flat, consistency doesn’t mean a thing. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with crowds “sometimes” around, you might have the beach to yourself—but that’s because there’s nothing to ride.
If you’re a kite surfer, you might find some action in the stronger afternoon breezes, but for paddle surfing, this is a total write-off. Forecasts can change, but for now, save your wax.
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.
