Alright, it’s Rusty here.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, dry spell ahead for Alabama Point. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. There’s nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for.

The water is sitting at 87° – that's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice if you just want a swim, but we’re not here for that.

For the first week and a half, through to about Monday the 13th, the swell is tiny. We’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft and wave energy barely registering, mostly in the single digits. The period is short – 3 to 4 seconds – so it’s just limp, bumpy slop. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore through the afternoons, with a few glassy mornings on the 3rd and 4th. But honestly, even with clean conditions, there’s nothing to surf.

There’s a slight pulse around Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th. Swell bumps up to 2ft to 3ft from the SW, with the combined energy creeping up to 39 on the Monday arvo. Still, the period is only 5 to 6 seconds, and new SW windswell this weak with a cross-shore or onshore wind just isn’t going to shape up. Even with a morning offshore on the 13th, the swell is too weak and junky.

The best you can say is a few mornings around the 8th, 12th, and 17th might see clean conditions, but the swell is effectively non-existent. This is a dead run for surf. For paddle surfing, there’s nothing. If you’re into kite surfing, a moderate cross-onshore breeze with some bump might offer a little something, but it’s not great.

Hang in there, but this stretch is a write-off.

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.
