The Lowdown
Rusty here, talking about Banana Point. This is a classic point break that loves NW swell, and it’s the only spot in the picture for the next couple weeks. What we’re looking at is a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with only a couple glassy mornings that actually have some juice. Water temp is about 70.0°, pretty much average for the time of year – nothing weird. Crowds are often around, so expect some company when the surf shows.
The first few days are pretty flat and frustrating. Monday the 14th morning is dead glassy but only 1.3ft of NW swell – not enough to get excited about, and the afternoon gets blown out. Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy again with a tiny 2.0ft swell, 11‑second period – still weak and ordinary. Wednesday the 16th morning cleans up with a cross‑offshore breeze but only 1.3ft – barely rideable. Thursday the 17th morning has a bit more size (3.6ft) and glassy conditions, but the period is short (8s) and energy moderate (156) – surfable but nothing special.
Then Friday morning the 18th – finally! Glassy, offshore breeze, 3.3ft of NW swell with an 11‑second period and moderate energy (216). The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and that’s the first real standout. A point break like this loves that direction, and the clean morning window is your best shot. After lunch the onshore wind ruins it again.
After that it’s back to poor conditions and small waves through the weekend and early next week. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th mornings are either cross‑onshore or barely there. Monday the 21st morning is glassy but only 1.9ft – ordinary. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd mornings are similar – glassy, tiny, not worth rushing.
Now, the next real highlight comes a week later. Saturday morning the 26th – glassy, light wind, 2.6ft of WNW swell with a 13‑second period and moderate energy (206). Again “expect good surf conditions.” The direction is right in the sweet spot for Banana Point, and that longer period will give the waves a bit more shape. It’s promising but still a week out, so keep an eye on it.
Beyond that, the last few days fade out again –

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.
