The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what Banana Point is cooking up over the next couple of weeks.

Truth is, it’s a quiet stretch. The swell is small and short-period, and the wind windows are tight. The water is sitting at 74° right now, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a big deal, you’ll feel that bathwater.

The best call in this whole run is the early mornings, especially Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the south at just 3 mph, with a little 3ft NW swell pushing through. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but with that light wind and clean conditions, Banana Point will be rideable and fun for a longboard or a twinny. The combined energy is low, around 99 to 100 (weak), but it’ll be a pleasant paddle.

Saturday morning the 8th looks like a real gem if you can get out early. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and the swell bumps up a touch to 3ft from the NW. The combined energy is still low at 109, but glassy conditions at a point break like this are rare and worth chasing. It’ll be clean, small, and probably uncrowded if you’re there at dawn.

After that, the pattern gets messy. The afternoons are mostly blown out with onshore wind from the WNW, often 6 to 12 mph, and the swell stays small. There are a few more clean mornings around the 14th and 19th of August, with cross-off southerly winds and 3ft NW swell, but the energy is barely moderate (138 to 122), and the waves are ordinary. The 19th morning is worth a look but don’t expect firing waves.

The combined energy stays under 200 for the whole forecast period, so we’re talking weak to barely moderate muscle. No big swell windows here. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 4ft, so it’s all safe. For experts, there’s nothing to get excited about. The period never hits 10 seconds, so it’s all windswell – short, choppy, and not holding shape well.

Crowds at Banana Point can be a factor sometimes, but with conditions this average, I reckon you’ll have plenty of room.

Overall, don’t expect much. The glassy Saturday morning is the standout, but even then it’s a small-wave session. The rest is a whole lot of "meh." But hey, it tends not to stay flat forever around here, and forecasts can change. Keep your eyes peeled.

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.
