The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Alabama Point. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking flat and pretty grim. There’s just no proper swell to speak of. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly (0) for the first few days, and even when a tiny pulse shows up, it barely registers (2, 10, 16). It’s a frustrating run, and for a spot that’s exposed to the southeast, it’s just not happening.
The first real hint of anything is on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the WNW at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft from the SSE with a period of 4 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s all over. Then Saturday the 29th of August is a write-off again with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, and we get a tiny 1 ft from the SE. It’s clean, but you’re looking at knee-high slop at best. The water temperature is 88° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t get cold waiting for waves that won’t come.
There’s another small window around Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning brings a 2 ft swell from the SW with a clean cross-off wind from the NW at 9 mph. The combined energy is still low (18), but that’s about as big as it gets. Even then, it’s short period at 4 seconds and the swell direction is wrong for the optimum SE exposure. The wind is clean, but the waves will be weak and messy. For a beginner spot, this is all too small to be any fun.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. There’s nothing that stands out as worth the paddle. If you’re desperate for a float, the cleanest conditions will be on the 1st of September morning or the 8th of September morning, but don’t expect a wave. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now.

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.
