Alright, grab a seat, let's have a look at what's coming up.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is a tough one for a paddle. We're looking at a long, flat spell to kick things off, and the energy that does show up is pretty weak. There aren't any real standouts here, but let's walk through it.
The first decent chance to even think about wetting a line is from the morning of Thursday the 9th of July. Beacon Point is a beginner-friendly point break, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft from the ESE, and the combined energy is a paltry 49. The morning has some clouds but the wind is light and cross-off shore, keeping things clean. That's about the best we get for a while, and it's just "surfable" at best. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels a touch tropical.
After that, we go back into a pattern of clean, glassy mornings with almost no swell. On Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, and Sunday the 12th of July the mornings are glassy but the swell is only 1 ft from the ESE, with combined energy in the low 20s and 30s. It's pretty, but you're not really going anywhere. The afternoons get chopped up by a SE wind, so forget about those.
There's a slight uptick in wind consistency around the 14th and 15th of July, with moderate offshore winds from the WSW and SW, but the swell stays pathetic – 1 ft from the ESE, with combined energy barely cracking 30. The wind is clean, but with a period of 9 seconds and that tiny size, you'd be surfing a ripple.
The last week just gets worse. From the 16th of July right through to the 20th, we have fresh offshore winds, but the swell drops to 0.7 ft and 1 ft, with combined energy in the single digits to low teens. It’s an exercise in futility. The risk of thunderstorms kicks in around the 15th, but that doesn't bring any real size.
There is one final oddity on the afternoon of the 20th of July – a tiny 2 ft swell from the SSE, but it’s coming from a variable ENE wind that's onshore and the period is a weak 5 seconds. Combined energy is only 32, so it’s not worth the drive.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing to get excited about. If you're desperate for a slide, the cleanest window is probably the morning of the 9th of July, but keep your expectations on the floor. This is a long, flat stretch and it doesn't look like changing anytime soon.

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.
Beacon Point is 30 km (19 miles) from Palm Valley. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Palm Valley. Palm Valley has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
