The Lowdown
Alright surfers, here it is in the old numbers.
Right off the bat, I’ll tell ya – Banana Point is gonna be a quiet stretch for the next week and a half. Mostly flat with real weak-looking waves, especially heading into the first part.
Monday the 17th of August and through that week, we’re looking at tiny stuff – 0.7ft to 2ft. The periods are short, around 8 seconds, giving you that sloppy, gutless feel. Combined wave energy is real low (between 15 and 59). That Monday morning we do have glassy conditions with a light WSW breeze, so the surface will be like a mirror – but there’s just no swell. Clean, but empty.
Come Friday the 21st of August, the swell jumps a bit – by Friday afternoon we see 5ft out of the NW, with energy at 211 – but the wind cranks onshore out of the NNW at 18 mph. That’s gonna be lumpy and rough, not much fun on a paddle board. This point break might actually be more interesting for a kite.
Saturday the 22nd of August looks like the best option, but that’s not saying a lot. Saturday morning is clean with light S winds, cross-offshore. Swell runs about 3ft from the NW, short period (7 seconds), with moderate energy (106). Water temp sits around 72°F, about average for the season. It’s surfable – just very ordinary.
As we roll into late August, we see some stronger energy spikes. Saturday the 29th of August morning shows 4ft from the NW and clean conditions with a light S breeze. Energy jumps to 184. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st push energy up even higher – 266 and 231 – but the winds are cross-onshore or onshore, blowing out the shape.
Periods stay in that 8-10 second range all the way through, so don’t expect any long-lined groundswell walls.
Bottom line: there’s nothing you’d really call a standout here. If you’re dying for a paddle, that Saturday the 22nd of August morning is the cleanest, most surfable window. But overall, this sixteen-day outlook is a pretty barren run. Banana Point is usually pretty consistent though, so this could change – forecasts aren’t set in stone.

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.
