The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s happening at Banana Point for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a real slow burner. The start is flat and weak, with next to nothing on offer. The water’s about average for the season, so no surprises there.

The one little spark comes on Saturday afternoon, July 25th. You’ve got a 5ft swell rollin’ in from the NNW, and the wind’s going glassy – that’s as clean as it gets. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 516, which is a solid moderate punch. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle that direction well, and the optimum offshore wind is from the ESE. Crowds are likely, but the consistency is decent. This is your one true standout for the whole forecast.

After that, it’s a long, flat stretch. The next week is mostly small, weak waves with poor winds – cross-on, onshore, just messy. Swell drops below 3ft, and the energy readings are mostly under 100. There’s a clean moment on Monday morning, August 4th, with a 2ft swell from the NNW, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

The second week is a total snooze. Swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – with weak energy readings in the 20s and 30s. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-on or onshore. The only tiny glimmer is Monday morning, August 3rd, with a glassy 2ft swell from the WNW and a 10-second period, but the energy is low (95) and it’s barely surfable.

Bottom line: if you’re keen, hit that Saturday afternoon session. The rest of the 16 days is a long, quiet run with a few small, clean moments for the patient longboarder. It’s been a tough stretch, but it’ll turn.

Rusty.

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.
