The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight—this 16-day stretch at Banana Point is a tough one. Most of the time, it’s either too small, too choppy, or just plain flat. The NW swell tries to show up, but the wind messes with it almost every afternoon, and the wave heights barely top 4 feet.
The best chance to get wet is on Wednesday, September 2nd, in the morning. We’ve got 4ft of NW swell at 9 seconds, with light SSE cross-off winds keeping the surface smooth. The combined energy sits at a moderate 206, which is about as good as it gets. Water temp is 70°, right around average for the season, so no need for a thick suit.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. Thursday 3rd fades to 2ft, and by Friday 4th we’re down to 1ft. The weekend is glassy but almost flat—energy values drop as low as 22, which is barely a ripple. The second week has a few calm mornings, like Sunday the 13th, with 3ft NW swell and glassy conditions, but the period is short (8 seconds) so the waves will be soft and lumpy. That’s your second-best option, and that’s saying something.
If you’re a beginner, this isn’t your week—the swell never really gets big enough to be intimidating, but the lack of quality makes it frustrating. Crowds could show up for the few clean windows, but there’s not much to crowd for. Honestly, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but for now, the surf is stubborn and the wind is uncooperative.
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.
