Alright, Rusty here with the straight talk. For the next two weeks at Banana Point, it's pretty bleak. We're looking at a solid 12-day stretch of tiny surf and onshore wind. The swell barely gets above 2 feet, and the wind from the west and WNW keeps everything chopped up. You could sit out there on a few glassy mornings, like July 4th and 5th, but there would be nothing to catch. It's a big test of your patience.

The whole picture shifts a little around Monday, July 13th and Tuesday, July 14th. The wave energy finally picks up, with combined energy reaching 147 on Monday afternoon and 120 on Tuesday morning – that's moderate energy, finally. We get some new NW groundswell with a period of 9-10 seconds, which gives the waves a bit more push and shape. The size is still only about 2-3 feet, which is the best we've seen in a fortnight. The catch is the wind is still messy, mostly cross-on or onshore.

The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is the morning of Wednesday, July 15th. We get a light wind from the south, making for clean conditions, with that small NW swell still holding around 2 feet (combined energy of 83). The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is the highest praise this forecast has to offer. Banana Point is a point break that likes a NW swell, so the direction is good, but the size is small. The water temperature is around 70°F, which is a couple of degrees warmer than average for this time of year.

So, keep your gear ready, but don't get your hopes up. The only window for a wave is that Wednesday morning, July 15th. After that, it's back to flatness. Just one of those quiet spells.

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.
