The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a good look through the charts for the area and I’ll level with ya – it’s been a tough stretch. We’re kicking off from Sunday, August 30th, and honestly, it’s a grim picture for quite a while. The swell is tiny, wind’s messy, and every window just gets a “poor surf conditions” stamp. You’re looking at a long dry spell.
The first bit of hope shows up a long way out – Wednesday morning, September 9th. That’s a full ten days of waiting. Even then, we’re only talking about Beacon Point, a beginner-friendly point break that’s fairly consistent and opens up to east swell. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the only time the charts flash something ridable. Wednesday morning is glassy, with the wind dead calm – a light offshore from the NNW, which will clean things right up. The water’s sitting at 81°F, which is about two and a half degrees cooler than usual for this time of year – noticeable, but not off-putting. The swell’s tiny though, just 1ft from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy is weak at 61. The waves will be small and ordinary, but clean. Crowds are possible here sometimes, and with nothing else on offer, expect a few locals out to stretch their arms.
Otherwise, the whole 16-day outlook is a write-off. After that one glassy morning, the wind turns cross-onshore and the surf goes back to poor. The run of flat to poor conditions stretches all the way, with very little to recommend. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real quiet spell. You might even say the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those windier afternoons.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
