The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. To be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window, the surf situation is pretty grim. The only break on the radar is Alabama Point, and it's a tough stretch.
The overall pattern is a long, flat spell. For the first week and a half, from Monday the 27th of July right through to the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, the conditions are just poor. The wave energy is weak, staying between 2 and 49 (combined energy), which is barely a ripple. The swell is tiny, generally around 1ft to 3ft, and it's coming from a southerly direction, which isn't quite what the spot wants to see. It's a beginner-friendly break, so the lack of size isn't a problem for the crew just learning, but there's nothing to get excited about.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, crops up on the very last day of the forecast. On Tuesday morning, the 11th of August, we have a glimmer of hope. The wind goes glassy, with a light offshore breeze from the NW at only 3 mph. The swell is still tiny at 1ft, but the period stretches to 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to 11 (combined energy). The key here is the "glassy" wind. That means zero wind chop, perfectly clean conditions. For a beginner spot like Alabama Point, a clean, glassy 1ft wave is actually rideable and fun. The stars align just for that one morning session.
So, if you're keen, aim for the morning of the 11th of August. The rest of the 16 days are a write-off, with a massive gap of about 15 days of no real surf. It's a tough run, but that one morning might just be your only chance to get wet. Stay patient, mates.
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.

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.
