The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty quiet run ahead at Banana Point. Don’t expect any standout sessions—the whole 16-day window is marginal, with nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind turns onshore most afternoons, making a mess of things. There’s a little energy on the Saturday (15th August) afternoon, with a combined energy reading of 313 (moderate), but that comes with a cross-on breeze and a marginal forecast. Not worth paddling out for.
Let’s start with the best of a flat lot: Friday morning, 14th August. Glassy conditions with a light S wind at 3 mph, and a 3 ft NW swell at 8 seconds. It’s clean, but the wave energy is weak at 143 (moderate). You’ll find small, soft lines—okay for a longboard or a foiler. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. That morning is your best shot.
From Saturday morning (15th August) through to the end of the month, it’s a slog. Most mornings offer a brief window of clean or glassy conditions (S or SW winds around 3 mph) and tiny swell—1 ft to 3 ft—but the afternoon trades kick in strong (WNW 9-19 mph) and flatten everything out. The 21st August (Friday) sees a short-period 5 ft NW swell with a 19 mph NNW cross-on wind—looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. No good.
The last glimmer is the morning of 27th August (Thursday) with a 3 ft NW swell, clean cross-off breeze, and weak energy (111). Still ordinary.
Overall, this is a blank run. Banana Point is exposed to swell, but it’s not delivering. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the charts. I’d save the wax for another week.
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.
