The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Beacon Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for decent waves. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s a big gap of nothing good from the start until late in the run. The only flicker of life shows up on the morning of Monday, the 17th of August, but even that’s a long way off and not much to write home about.
Beacon Point is a point break that’s fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to the east and needs an easterly swell direction to really light up. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore early on, which would keep things clean, but the swells are tiny—just 1 ft to 2 ft—with short periods around 7 or 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is basically nothing, with values like 18 or 22 (weak energy). The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The one – and I mean the *only* – standout comes on the morning of Monday, the 17th of August. The surf goes from terrible to “surfable but very ordinary.” You’ll see a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 43 (moderate wave energy? no, that’s weak). But the wind is light from the west at 6 mph, giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. That’s the closest we get to a decent paddle. The swell direction is south-east, but the optimum for Beacon Point is east, so it’s a bit of a mismatch. The crowds will be around *sometimes*, so you might have some company for those knee-high waves.
The rest of the window is a total write-off. Strong onshore winds, tiny chop, and flat spells. The swell never gets above 4 ft, and even when it reaches that on the 7th and 8th of August, the wind is messy and onshore, making it just a choppy mess. For beginners, the tiny swell size is fine, but for anyone else, it’s a waste of time. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the days with cross-onshore winds and a bit of bump.
So, to sum it up: save your energy for Monday the 17th of August, early. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only chance for a clean, if tiny, wave. Until then, the beach is for walks.
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.
