The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Banana Point for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat and lackluster. We’ve got a long gap of nothing really worth paddling out for. The first surf that even registers as surfable isn’t until the morning of Monday, August 5th, and even then it’s a real struggle. The waves are tiny, around 3 ft from the NW, and while the wind is light cross-shore, the combined energy is weak (84). That’s a ‘marginal’ call at best, and I wouldn’t rush for it.

The pattern doesn't change much through the first week. We see a little bump on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 7th, with the swell climbing to 5 ft from the NW. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 377, which sounds promising, but the wind is onshore and lumpy. That’s a mess, not a session.

Honestly, the only real standout in this whole 16-day outlook comes right at the very end. On the morning of Saturday, August 17th, we finally get a bit of a window. The swell is 3 ft from the NW, period is a modest 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm. That means clean, smooth waves. The combined energy is a moderate 132, so there’s a little bit of push. It’s not a big day, but for this break, it’s the best we’re gonna see. Banana Point is a point break, and that NW swell direction is right in its wheelhouse. Keep in mind, this spot can get crowded, so expect company if you head out.

Water temp is sitting at a pleasant 71°F, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.

For the rest of the time, it’s a whole lot of small, weak swell and onshore winds. If you’re a kiter, some of those afternoons with a fresh onshore breeze might look more interesting than what’s on offer for a paddle surfer. But for us? It’s a waiting game.

Stay patient.

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.
