Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down Banana Point. The first week is pretty quiet, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet. The first halfway decent window shows up on Wednesday the 15th of July.

The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Wednesday afternoon the 15th, we’ve got a glassy surface with 1.0m of swell from the NW, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (90), so it’s ankle to knee-high stuff. Clean, but weak.

The rest of that first week and into the second is a real grind. You’ll see a few mornings with 0.8m of NW swell and light cross-off winds, like on the 17th, 18th, 19th, 21st, and 22nd, but the wave quality is just “very ordinary.” The energy is low, barely breaking triple digits, and it’s not worth getting excited about.

The one day that sticks out as the best of the bunch is Saturday the 25th of July. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-off breeze, and the swell is 1.3m from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 249. It’s not a big swell, but it’s the most solid, cleanest option in the entire 16-day forecast. The swell direction is right on the money for Banana Point. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising possibility, not a guarantee.

Expect crowds if you head out on the 25th. Show up early for the best chance of a clean one.

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.
