Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alabama Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up – this outlook for Alabama Point is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there’s nothing good on offer.
The whole stretch from Thursday, July 9th, all the way through to Thursday, July 24th, is a write-off. We’re talking a solid two weeks plus of just flat, poor surf. The combined wave energy barely gets into double digits most days, and never reaches anything meaningful. The highest we see is a 139 (moderate energy) on the afternoon of July 16th, but even that comes with a poor surf conditions tag and a messy cross-onshore breeze. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is almost always junk.
There is a tiny glimmer on the morning of Thursday, July 16th, with a 4 ft swell from the SSE, but it’s still considered poor surf and the period is a weak 5 seconds. That’s not a wave you want to paddle out for. The best wind we get is a few glassy or offshore mornings, like on Monday, July 13th, or Sunday, July 19th, but the swell is barely a ripple when it happens. You’d be bobbing around on a mill pond.
This spot is a breakwater setup, and it’s simply not working for us. For a beginner, the water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to ride. The only folks who might get a kick out of this setup are the kiters if a decent breeze picks up, but even then, the swell is too small to get excited about.
Don’t get your hopes up. This is one of those blank runs that happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep the boards in the car and the wax in the bag.

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.
