The Lowdown
Right, let’s take a look at Banana Point. This is a point break, pretty exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction here is from the NW. Over the next two and a bit weeks, we’re looking at a patchy run of small waves, but there are a few windows where it could be worth a paddle.
The first real chance to get in the water won’t come until Thursday morning, August 13th. It’s not big, with waist-high swell around 2ft pulsing in from the WNW, and a period of 9 seconds. Combined wave energy is only 93, so it’s weak. But the wind will be light and cross-offshore, making for clean faces. It’s surfable, just very ordinary.
Friday morning, August 14th bumps up a touch – 3ft from the NW, still a short-period 8 seconds, but the combined energy climbs to 145. Again, that light offshore breeze keeps things tidy. Saturday the 15th follows a similar pattern: 3ft from the NW, 8 seconds, clean morning conditions. By Saturday afternoon, the swell edges up to 4ft (combined energy jumps to 313), but the wind swings onshore, making it a bit of a bumpy mess.
After that, things go flat and quiet. From Sunday, August 16th all the way through to Monday, August 25th, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. Morning glass-offs and light wind days pop up, but the swell drops to 1ft to 3ft, with weak energy readings mostly under 100. The waves just aren’t there. On Tuesday, August 19th and 20th, you’ll get glassy mornings, but it’s barely ankle to knee high – not worth suiting up.
The best of the bunch if you’re desperate? Wednesday morning, August 26th. We get a bit of a pulse back: 3ft from the NW, 8 seconds, combined energy of 125. The wind is light cross-off, so it’ll be clean. It’s still small and short-period, but by far the best looking morning in the second week. Thursday the 27th has similar size but the wind goes cross, so it won’t be as pretty.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The only time you’ll catch something remotely worth it is on those Thursday and Saturday mornings in the first week, and then again on that Wednesday morning in week two. If you’re a beginner, those 2ft to 3ft days are fine, but for an experienced surfer, this is a frustrating run. The crowds could be an issue when it’s clean, so if you do go, paddle out early.

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.
