Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The next 16 days at Alabama Point are a dead loss for any surfer looking for a proper wave. The whole run is a flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The combined swell energy sits at a measly 31 (weak) right now, and it just gets worse from there. The water temp is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only notable thing.
We’ve got a long, boring gap here. From day one, Saturday July 11th, right through to Sunday July 26th, there’s not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.3ft to 3ft at best, and that’s being generous. The period is short, often under 6 seconds, so there’s no push. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, but with such tiny waves, even a clean morning (like Sunday July 12th morning or Monday July 13th morning) just gives you a glassy lake. There’s no energy.
For a couple of afternoons, like July 13th and July 23rd, the swell bumps up to 3ft and 2ft from the WSW, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, so it’s just wind slop. With the wind coming onshore or cross-shore through the guts of the day, it’s choppy and messy. Not worth a second look.
The only potential highlight is a very long shot. On Sunday July 19th and Monday July 20th mornings, there’s a tiny 0.3ft swell from the south with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a longer period, but the swell height is so small it’s basically a non-event. The water’s clean with a cross-off breeze, but you’d be lucky to catch a knee-high wave.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, those afternoons with a 15 mph cross-shore wind and a bit of bumpy water might be your only fun. But for a surfboard? This is a full-on drought. Just wait for a better forecast.
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.
