The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Banana Point.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run ahead. We’re talkin’ a long stretch of small, weak swell that just doesn’t have the grunt to make anything memorable. The combined swell energy sits in the weak range, mostly under 100 (e.g. 132, 135, 69), though it does nudge into moderate territory a few times later on. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The best of a bad bunch is Saturday the 25th of July, early. A 3ft NW swell, period of 8 seconds, with a light 6 mph S breeze holdin' it cross-offshore. It’ll be clean, surfable, but ordinary. That’s your window. Sunday morning the 26th is similar—3ft NW, light cross-off—but again, nothin’ to write home about.
After that, it drops off hard. Monday the 27th through to Friday the 31st sees swell barely hittin’ 3ft, with periods as low as 6 to 7 seconds. You’re lookin’ at poor surf conditions day after day, often with onshore or cross-on winds. The odd glassy moment on the 29th (Wednesday) morning and the 31st (Friday) morning is there, but the swell’s too weak to care about.
Into the first week of August, we see a slight pulse. Saturday the 1st of August morning shows 3ft NW swell at 9 seconds, with a 6 mph cross-off breeze and combined energy of 120 (moderate). It’s still only a 1 out of 10 situation, but it’s the cleanest look in that stretch. Monday the 3rd of August morning is glassy with a 3ft NW swell, but again, the size and power just aren’t there.
Later in the week, the 6th of August (Thursday) sees the biggest swell of the whole run—4ft NW, period of 8 seconds, combined energy of 232 (moderate). That’s the biggest number we get, but the wind turns onshore in the afternoon, and the morning before it’s cross-shore and messy. It’s really only for the keen, and at that size it’s still fine for intermediates, but the quality is lacking.
The standout? There really isn’t one. If I had to point to a session, it’d be Saturday the 25th of July morning. That’s your cleanest, most surfable wave, even if it’s only 3ft and ordinary. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re mostly starin’ at flat, choppy, or weak dribble. It’s a tough stretch, mate—forecasts can change, but right now it’s lookin’ like a long wait.

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.
