The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same scoop in feet and miles per hour for those who think in those numbers.
Let’s be real, Banana Point isn’t firing for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves with mostly average conditions. You’ll have to be picky.
The big picture is small, short-period NW swells. Wave heights are mostly 3 ft to 4 ft, with swell periods of just 7 to 8 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, so the waves won’t have much grunt or shape. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°F, which is worth noting.
The best windows are the mornings with light, glassy or offshore winds, because that’s the only way these little waves will have any chance of being clean.
Thursday the 6th of August is a total loss, so forget it.
The first decent chance is Friday morning, August 7th. We’ve got a clean, surfable 3 ft NW swell with a light SSE cross-offshore breeze. It’s nothing special, but it’s clean.
The pick of the bunch is Saturday morning, August 8th. Glassy conditions with a light SSW breeze and a 3 ft NW swell. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean, and you might snag a few fun ones. Banana Point is a point break, so the short-period NW swell won’t wrap in perfectly, but glassy conditions are gold. Crowds are often around, so expect company.
Sunday morning August 9th and Monday morning August 10th both offer clean or glassy conditions on small NW swells (3 ft and 3 ft), but the energy is really weak, especially Monday.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From the 11th through to the 21st of August, it’s mostly poor conditions with onshore winds and tiny waves. There are a few clean mornings – like Wednesday morning August 12th with a 2 ft NW swell and light cross-offshore breeze, and Thursday morning August 13th with a 2 ft WNW swell – but the size is so small it’s barely worth paddling for.
Later in the second week, the mornings of August 14th (3 ft, clean), August 15th (3 ft, glassy), August 16th (3 ft, clean), and August 17th (3 ft, clean) offer the same small, clean conditions. It’s just more of the same.
So, Saturday morning August 8th is your best shot. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest you’ll get. If you miss it, the clean mornings in the second week are worth a look for a longboard session, but don’t expect any punch.
Keep your eyes on the forecasts, things can change. Rusty out.

Information about the Banana Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Banana Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Banana Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Banana 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 (Banana 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 Banana 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.
