The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak NW swell, and the winds are mostly going to be working against us. It’s not a total write-off, don’t get me wrong, but you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. The water’s sitting at 74°, which is *much* warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a silver lining if you just want a float.
The first real window is Saturday morning, the 8th. We’ve got a light SE cross-off breeze at Banana Point making it clean, with a small 3ft NW swell at 8 seconds. The energy is still pretty weak at 102, so it’s a longboard-only kind of morning. You’ll get some slow, crumbly waves, but it’s better than nothing. Sunday morning looks similar—another 3ft NW, light SSE cross-off, clean, but nothing special. We’re just going to be in a pattern of these tiny, short-period NW pulses.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the early part of the second week. Tuesday morning, the 11th, is looking glassy with a light WSW air, but the swell is only 3ft and the energy’s dropped right off to 64. The conditions are perfect, but there’s just no power in the water. Then we get a bit of a bump for the Tuesday the 18th afternoon – the swell pushes up to 4ft, but the period drops to 7 seconds and it’s blowing straight onshore from the WNW. That’s not going to be pretty.
During the second week, things stay small. A few mornings like the 16th and the 22nd will have clean, cross-off winds, with 3ft to 3ft of weak NW swell. But don’t get too excited. These are all marginal, pushy waves for a log when everything lines up.
Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, the best chance is early Saturday morning or Sunday morning – pick the smaller of the onshores and just get out there. It’s not going to be epic, but it will be clean.
Rusty out.

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.
