The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and the news for Alabama Point ain't pretty. We are looking at a long, dry spell of flat or near-flat conditions for the next two weeks. Seriously, we're talking days of nothing but tiny little bumps from now until way out.
The only thing that even qualifies as a wave shows up way down the line, on Thursday, September 5th, in the morning. But it's a sad little knee-high swell at 1ft from the WSW, with a period of 4 seconds. The combined swell energy is a measly 6 (six). The wind will be offshore from the W though, so it'll be clean if you want to paddle out on a longboard for a micro-wave. Not something I'd get excited about.
Before that, a few mornings are glassy but totally flat, like Monday morning, August 26th. The water feels a bit warmer than usual for the time of year at 87°F, which is fine for a swim, but for surfing? There's nothing to ride.
This is a tough one. There's no standout period, no solid swell in sight. It's just quiet. If you're itching for something, maybe that tiny, clean bump on September 5th is your best bet, but manage your expectations.

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.
