The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Banana Point.
Honestly, it’s a tough run. The swell is small, the energy is low, and the wind is a constant pain. The only session that really stands out is the morning of Friday, August 14th. That morning we’ve got glassy conditions, a clean 1.0m from the NW, and the combined energy hits 236 (moderate). That’s the one to circle. For a point break, a NW swell is right in the sweet spot, and with glassy water, it’ll be as clean as it gets. That morning is the only real standout in the whole forecast.
Before that, it’s a grind. The mornings of Thursday the 6th, Friday the 7th, Saturday the 8th, and Sunday the 9th all have surfable but ordinary waves—around 0.9m to 1.1m from the NW, with periods around 8 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping things clean, but the energy is weak (105 to 101). The afternoons are all onshore and messy.
The first week is a real struggle. Mornings from Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 13th are mostly clean, but the swell drops to 0.7m-0.8m, with energy falling into the 60s and 70s. That’s barely a ripple. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Then we get that Friday the 14th morning. That’s the one. The glassy wind and that 1.0m NW swell, with 236 energy, is the best we’ll see. It’s not big, but for a point break, it’ll have some shape. Expect crowds, though—this spot is often busy, and on the best day of the forecast, it’ll be a popular choice.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The second week is a blur of tiny, weak swells and afternoon onshore winds. Saturday the 15th morning is clean but unremarkable at 0.9m, and the rest is just noise. By Friday the 21st of August, we’re down to 0.6m and 55 energy. That’s barely a bump.
So, to sum it up: if you’ve got a free morning on Friday the 14th of August, get to Banana Point early for a glassy, clean, 1.0m NW swell. It’s the only real highlight in a pretty quiet 16-day window.
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.
