The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I’m calling it as I see it: there’s no real surf to get excited about at Alabama Point over the next 16 days.
The highest combined swell energy we see is 17, which is weak, and most days the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." We start with tiny, unrideable bumps. September 1st morning has 0.2m from the SSE with a cross breeze – not worth a look. The next few days are mostly flat or have 0.1m to 0.2m of short-period slop with onshore or cross-onshore wind.
The cleanest moment comes on the morning of Saturday, September 5th, when the wind goes glassy from the NNW, but there’s no swell at all – zero energy. A similar glassy morning on September 7th also has zero swell. The water temperature on the first morning is 30°, a touch warmer than average for early September.
There’s a slight bump on the morning of Wednesday, September 16th, with 0.6m from the east at 4 seconds and a light offshore breeze from the NE. That’s the cleanest looking window, but the energy is still weak (11), and it’s short-period stuff. Not a standout, just the least bad option.
This is a long flat spell for an exposed breakwater spot. If you’re into kiting, the onshore afternoons might be more interesting, but for surfing, there’s nothing here. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid miss.
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.
