The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Beacon Point. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. There’s a gap starting right now and running all the way through to the end of the forecast, with no recommendations at all.
The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so a wetsuit isn’t on the cards. But that’s the only good news. The swell is tiny, weak, and coming from the east or east-southeast, with a short period around 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 20 (for the first record), which is weak, and it never gets any better. The best you’ll see is a 2ft swell but it’s always accompanied by garbage wind and poor conditions.
Even on the Wednesday morning of the 29th of July, where we get a clean offshore wind from the west-southwest at 12 mph, the swell is only 1ft. It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride. The same goes for the 30th of July and the 4th of August – clean offshore conditions, but the swell is just too pathetic to bother with. On the 5th of August, we get a glassy morning, but again, just 1ft of barely-moving water.
Honestly, for a point break like Beacon Point, this setup is a dud. The swell direction is east, which is the optimum, but the size and energy just aren’t there. If you’re really desperate, you could sit on a longboard for a 1ft wave on a glassy day, but it’s not worth the drive. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” but with this surf, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Stay patient, mates. Forecasts change, and this blank run won’t last forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Beacon Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Beacon Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Beacon Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Beacon 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 (Beacon 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 Beacon 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.
