The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Alabama Point is a tough one. We’re staring down a 16-day window with barely a ripple to get excited about. The forecast is pretty much a flat spell, with the odd tiny bump that just doesn’t have any push behind it. If you’re hoping for a surf, you’re gonna be waiting a long time.
Let’s start with the first bit of the run. Over the next week, from Thursday the 30th of July right through, we’ve got tiny, weak swells. We’re looking at a 1ft to 3ft range from the SW, but the period is short – 3 to 6 seconds, so it’s all wind-slop with no real energy. The combined energy stays low, under 100 (51 is the highest we see), which is basically nothing. The winds are a mix of cross and cross-offshore, but for waves this small, it doesn’t matter – it’s just poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least it’s warm if you want a float.
We hit a bit of a lull from the 5th of August onward, with readings dropping to 0.3ft to 0.7ft. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on the 6th and 7th, but with only 0.7ft to 1ft of swell, it’s a lake. Not a wave to be had.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope. From the 8th of August right through to the 14th, we’re stuck on tiny, weak swells (0.3ft to 1ft) with combined energy values in the single digits. The winds are a bit of a mess – cross and cross-onshore, with a strong offshore on the 9th that’s blowing 25 mph, but there’s nothing to surf. It’s just a strong, clean wind over a flat ocean.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. Not a single session worth paddling out for. The only break in the whole region, Alabama Point, is exposed to the SE, but the swell is coming from the wrong directions and is far too weak. It’s a genuine flat spell. For a breakwater spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a tough run, but it happens. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.

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.
