The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Alabama Point. I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for a paddle. This is one of those runs where you’ll be doing more staring at the ocean than surfing it.
The first sign of anything remotely rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 1st. That’s over a week away, so we’ve got a long gap of flat, poor surf before that. From now until then, it’s a whole lot of tiny waves and messy winds. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The best bet, and really the only one worth getting excited about, is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the SW, with a 6-second period. The combined energy is a weak 80, so it’s not powerful, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The real kicker is a clean, moderate offshore wind out of the N. That’ll keep the surface glassy and make the most of the small, weak waves. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be the cleanest it’s been.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the forecast is a mix of tiny swells, poor conditions, and onshore winds. For the first week of August, the mornings offer a few moments of clean, knee-high slop, but with the combined energy staying under 20, it’s hardly worth the effort.
Honestly, for this stretch, if you’re not keen on the 1st of August, you’re better off leaving the boards at home. The setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of the period.
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.
