The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a real mixed bag coming up for Banana Point over the next couple of weeks. There are a few windows where it gets interesting, but you’ve got to be patient and pick your moments.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The surf is small and bumpy, with westerly winds messing things up. We’ve got a run of "poor surf conditions" stretching from now through the end of August. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 29th of August. This is the standout of the whole outlook. Saturday morning, the wind drops to glassy out of the southwest, and we’ve got a 4ft groundswell from the northwest with a period of 11 seconds. The energy jumps up noticeably (287) and the comments say “expect good surf conditions.” That’s what we’re after. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Banana Point handles that NW swell well, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean. Be aware that crowds are often here, so get out early.
Sunday the 30th still has a chance. The morning is glassy again with a 3ft NW swell. The energy drops back (129), but it’s still surfable. It’s just not as punchy as Saturday.
After that, we slide back into mediocrity. The first week of September is a slog. Most mornings offer clean-ish conditions with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is weak and inconsistent. The energy is constantly in the low 100s, and the comments keep saying "surfable but ordinary" or "poor." You might get a knee-high wave on Tuesday the 1st of September morning (4ft, 9 seconds) but it’s just average.
Holding out for the second weekend, the pattern doesn’t look to change much. The 6th and 7th of September see tiny glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft to 3ft with weak energy (as low as 58). It's a long stretch of small stuff. The best of the second week might be early on the 5th of September (Saturday) with a 3ft NW swell and clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Bottom line: if you want a proper wave, your window is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. That’s the one. The rest is mostly a waiting game.

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.
