The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. It's pretty flat out there, and it's gonna be that way for a while. We got a long stretch of nothing before anything even gets close to fun. Don't get too excited; this is a patience game.

The only real standout I can see is down at Banana Point. It’s a point break, so it can handle a little more size, but even then, it’s not going to be big. The best bet is shaping up for Wednesday the 19th in the morning. We’re looking at a clean 4ft of west-northwest swell, with a period around 8 seconds. That’s not a monster, but it’s the healthiest energy we see all week, with a combined energy of 200. The winds are light from the south-southeast, making for clean conditions. This is the one to aim for. It’s still small enough for most surfers, but it’ll be the best shape we get.

Before that, it’s rubbish. For over a week, we’re dealing with knee-to-waist high slop, often with onshore winds in the afternoons. The mornings are mostly clean, but the swell is just too weak. It's pretty much flat or just tiny ankle-biters. You’ll see a bit of an uptick on the morning of the 14th, a glassy 2ft, but it’s not worth the paddle.

Once we get past the 19th, it drops back down again. The end of the week and the weekend are looking weak again, with nothing on the cards. The long-range stuff is really just a tease.

The water temp is pretty much average for the time of year, so no surprises there. A 3/2mm fullsuit will be fine, maybe a hood if you’re keen.

So, in short: mark your calendar for Wednesday morning, the 19th. It won't be epic, but it’s the only time it looks like a proper surf. Everything else is a lake.

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.
