The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about the surf ahead. We're looking at Alabama Point, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a rough stretch. The water's sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
For the entire 16-day forecast window, there’s just nothing doing. Zero, zip, zilch. The wave energy is almost non-existent, with the combined swell energy barely registering a blip, mostly single-digit numbers (like 0 or 1). The biggest pulse we see is a tiny 3 ft on the 22nd, but it's coming from the ESE with a short 4-second period and onshore winds, making it a choppy mess. Not worth getting wet for.
We start with a Monday morning on the 7th that’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but there’s no swell to ride. Through the week, it’s a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind with tiny, weak swell – nothing over 2 ft. We get a couple of glassy mornings, like Sunday the 13th and Tuesday the 15th, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft to 1 ft. It’s flat, plain and simple.
There are no standouts, no hidden gems. This is a total blank run. The setup here is a breakwater, and with this kind of weak, onshore slop, it’s more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. For a stretch this long with no recommendations, it’s a quiet spell. Hang loose, keep an eye on the charts, and don't bother waxing up yet.
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.
