The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the forecast for Banana Point.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty quiet spell to kick things off. The swell’s just not there for the first week, with tiny waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds blowing straight into the point. It’s not going to be worth paddling out until things start to shift around the third week of the month.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 22nd of July. That afternoon, we see the swell starting to push up to 4.6 ft from the NNW with a moderate energy reading (210). The period is still short at 8 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy and messy. This is more of a “keep an eye on it” moment than a full-on session.

The real standout of the whole forecast lands on Tuesday the 28th of July. Both the morning and afternoon have the same setup: a solid 3.9 ft swell from the NW, with a longer period of 9 seconds giving those waves a bit more push and shape. The combined energy jumps to 225 – that’s moderate energy, but for this spot it’s the best we’ve seen all window. The wind is light cross-onshore from the NW at just 3 mph, so the surface will be fairly clean, just a few little wind ripples. This is the one to target if you want any sort of proper wave. Keep in mind, 3.9 ft is still manageable for most surfers, but it’s not huge.

There’s also a decent little pulse on Wednesday the 29th of July in the morning. Swell holds at 3.6 ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, and the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the south at 3 mph. That will clean the waves up nicely. Combined energy is 197. This is the second-best slot on the cards.

Water temp is sitting at 70.7°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

Overall, it’s a long wait with a lot of flat days, weak energy (44–100 range for most of the first two weeks), and plenty of poor conditions. But if you’re patient, the last few days of July have a couple of windows that’ll get you wet.

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.
