The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Banana Point.
To be honest, mate, it’s a pretty quiet outlook. The next two weeks aren’t exactly firing. There’s no real standout swell energy, and most days the wind’s going to mess things up. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for anything spectacular.
The best bet of the whole run is hands down the Tuesday morning, August 4th. We’ve got a tiny but workable 2 ft swell from the NW, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as a mirror. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 71° for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined swell energy is weak (81), but with those conditions, you’ll be able to get a few clean little runners. It’s an intermediate spot that’s fairly consistent and it’s an exposed point. Just be aware that crowds are often a thing here, so expect some company in the water.
After that, it’s a bit of a drought. The mornings are the only real chance to get a session in. For instance, Thursday morning, August 6th, and Friday morning, August 7th, both offer 3 ft NW swell with a clean cross-off breeze, but again, the energy is weak (112 and 119). They’re surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Looking into the second week, the story doesn’t change much. Thursday morning, August 13th, has a nice little 3 ft NW swell with an offshore ESE breeze at just 3 mph. That’s clean, but still weak energy (145). Then Saturday morning, August 16th has a glassy start with 3 ft swell (122). Promising but still not a standout.
The rest of the time is a write-off. The afternoons are plagued with onshore and cross-on winds, and the swell is either too small or just messy. There’s a period from around the 8th to the 16th where the afternoons are particularly poor.
So, grab your board for those glassy mornings if you can, but don’t travel any distance for it. This is more of a “check the local cams and have a quick paddle” kind of fortnight.

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.
