The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf, so don't get your hopes up for anything epic. For the first week and a half, it's mostly just small, gutless NW groundswell. The real standout is a glimmer of hope further out, but we gotta be patient.
The first session worth paddling out for is on Tuesday, August 4th, morning. The surf is only 2ft from the NW with a short period of 7 seconds, so the energy is very weak (79). But the wind is glassy, and that's a major positive. It'll be clean, but very small. Don't expect to get your barrel quota.
The next decent window is Wednesday, August 5th, morning. Again, tiny 3ft NW swell (101 energy), but with glassy conditions, it'll be clean. Thursday, August 6th, morning is similar – 3ft from the NW (114 energy) with a light cross-offshore wind. It's small, but it's rideable.
Friday, August 7th, morning is a bit of a tease. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW with a slightly longer period of 9 seconds and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (193). It's the best of the first week, but still nothing to write home about.
We then hit a bit of a dry spell. The mornings of Saturday the 8th, Sunday the 9th, and Monday the 10th are all small and surfable but very ordinary. The afternoons deteriorate with onshore or cross-onshore winds. From Tuesday the 11th all the way through to Saturday the 15th, it's mostly poor surf conditions with small, weak waves and bad wind.
Then we get our one true standout. Keep your eyes on Saturday, August 15th, morning. The forecast shows a jump in energy to 292 (moderate) with a 4ft NW swell and a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a huge plus. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions". This is the best on offer for the whole 16-day period. It's a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in, but it's the only day that looks like it could be genuinely fun.
After that, we're back to small, weak, and mostly poor conditions through to the end of the period on the 19th.
So, there you have it. A lot of waiting around for one morning of decent, clean fun. The combined swell energy is just too weak for most of the run to get excited about. If you're desperate for a paddle, hit the glassy mornings of the first few days, but if you want any real quality, pencil in that Saturday the 15th morning session.
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.
