The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is a tough one, folks. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I'll be straight with you – it's a long, flat spell for Banana Point. We're looking at a big gap of days with basically nothing worth paddling out for.
Right now, the water's sitting at about 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. No major surprises there.
The first real chance of anything comes in on the morning of Wednesday, 26 August. The swell is tiny, just 3ft from the NW, with a short period. The combined energy is weak at 96. The wind is a cross-offshore from the SSE, which is a good sign for a clean face. It's surfable, but it's ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.
Then there's another gap of a few days with nothing. The next sniff of a wave is on Monday morning, 31 August. Again, we're looking at 3ft from the NW, short period, weak energy (89), and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the south. It's still just "surfable but very ordinary."
Honestly, this is a poor run. For a point break like Banana Point, which is exposed to the NW, we need a bit more punch and a longer period to get any real shape. With the short-period, weak NW swells we're seeing, even when the wind is good, the waves are just going to be small and crumbly. If you're desperate for a splash, the cleanest mornings are the 26th and 31st, but don't expect much. This is one of those times where the forecast is pretty bleak.

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.
