The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk Banana Point in terms we can all feel.

The water temp is about 71°, which is normal for this time of year. No surprises there.

Honestly, it’s gonna be a dry spell. From now right through the end of August and into the first week of September, the swell is tiny and the conditions are mediocre at best. You’d be better off waxin’ your board next week.

The one day that stands out is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. We’re lookin’ at a clean 4ft NW swell with a 9-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze out of the south at just 3 mph, so it’ll be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate at 206, so there’s some real push behind it. For a point break like Banana Point, that NW swell should wrap in nice and produce some proper waves. It’s not huge, but it’ll be quality.

After that, it drops back to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the run. The morning of Saturday, September 12th offers a small 3ft NW swell with a glassy start, but the energy is low and the condition is just ordinary.

If you’ve got to paddle out, make it Wednesday the 2nd. The rest is a whole lot of nothin’.

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.
