The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's look at the same stretch, but in feet. This 16-day window is dead quiet. We've got a long, flat spell with nothing but tiny scraps. Don't get your hopes up for anything rideable for a good while.
We're talking about Alabama Point, a breakwater setup fully exposed to the southeast. Right now, on the 11th, it's a write-off. We've got a weak 3ft swell from the southwest with a short period of 5 seconds, blown out by a moderate breeze. The water is sitting at a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only notable thing.
That flat spell kicks in from the 12th and runs all the way through until the 22nd. We're talking over a week of days with swell heights barely reaching 1ft and wave energy so low it's barely there. There are a few mornings with clean conditions and light offshore breezes, like the 14th, 15th, and 19th, but with no swell to speak of, it's just a pretty lake. Even a glimpse of glassy conditions on the 20th and 23rd can't save it.
We finally see a pulse of energy around the 16th and 17th, with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast (period 6 seconds). The wave energy bumps up a bit, but it's still crossed-up and messy with moderate cross-shore winds. It's not surfable for a paddle board. If you're into kites, the beach setup might start looking a bit more interesting as that ESE wind picks up.
The best we get in this whole outlook is a couple of mornings around the 22nd. On the 22nd morning, there's a 3ft swell from the east-southeast (period 5 seconds) with clean, cross-offshore winds from the northeast. The wave energy is still low, but it's the most organized it's going to get. Even then, it's tiny.
Forget the second week. From the 23rd onward, it's back to barely a ripple, with mostly offshore winds and nothing but flat, clean water. The 25th and 26th have some proper offshore breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft.
Honestly, the standout here is just waiting for that morning on the 22nd if you're desperate for a tiny, clean wave. Other than that, the board stays 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.
