The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Banana Point over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook is pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. The real standouts are few and far between, but there are a couple of windows where you might get a decent session if you’re keen.

The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July offer small 3ft NW swell, but it’s short period (8 seconds) and the wind is cross-off in the mornings, which is alright, but the energy is just weak (135 to 206 combined energy) and the waves are very ordinary. Not worth getting excited about. From Monday the 27th right through to the end of the month, the swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, periods drop to 6 or 7 seconds, and conditions are mostly poor with onshore or cross-shore wind. The mornings of the 30th and 31st of July have glassy conditions, but with only 2ft to 3ft of weak swell, it’s barely rideable.

The first week of August doesn’t bring much relief. The 1st and 2nd are still tiny and poor. The 3rd of August Monday morning sees a small bump to 3ft NW swell, 7 seconds, with clean cross-off wind, but it’s still very weak (98 combined energy). The best of the bunch, and the only real standout in this entire outlook, is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. We get 4ft of NW swell at 8 seconds, with clean cross-off wind and moderate energy (156 combined energy). The water temperature is about 71°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. That’s your best chance for a surfable wave, but even then, it’s hardly pumping.

After that, the 5th through the 9th of August are all similar: small swell, poor conditions, and mostly onshore winds. The morning of Sunday the 9th of August has glassy conditions with 3ft NW swell at 8 seconds (135 combined energy), so if you’re desperate, that might be worth a look, but it’s still pretty ordinary.

Overall, there’s no real pumping swell on the horizon. The best morning is Tuesday the 4th of August, so if you’ve got a free morning, that’s the one to aim for. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of small, weak surf with a lot of wind-affected days.

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.
