Beacon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee... or a beer... and let’s have a look at what we’ve got.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough stretch for Beacon Point. Over the next couple of weeks, the surf is mostly small and weak, with a lot of days where the conditions just don’t line up. The swell energy is pretty low across the board, never getting into that moderate range. We’re looking at a long, quiet run.

Let’s break it down.

Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th are a write-off. Tiny swell, poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Thursday the 9th morning offers a glimmer. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the ESE (9 seconds), with light cross-offshore winds. Combined energy is only 50 (weak), and it’s "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". Honestly, it’s a begrudgingly surfable wave for a beginner, but that’s about it.

The pattern stays flat and frustrating right through the rest of the week and into the next. We get a few mornings with glassy conditions – like Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th – but the swell is barely there, 1.0-1ft, with combined energy in the 20s. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

Sunday the 12th afternoon is perhaps the *best* on offer across the whole period. The wind goes glassy, and the swell bumps up to 2ft from the ESE (8 seconds). Combined energy is 53. Still weak. Still small. But it’s glassy as a lake. If you were going to pick a time to sit on a longboard and just float, that’s it.

After that, it’s more of the same. Monday the 13th, Tuesday the 14th, Wednesday the 15th – all tiny, all under 2ft, with combined energy in the 20s. The winds are often clean or offshore, which is a tease because there’s no power behind it.

From Thursday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, the swell just fades. We’re looking at 0.7ft to 1ft, with periods dropping to as low as 5 seconds. Combined energy drops to single digits or just over 20. The offshore winds are there, but it’s a lake.

There is no standout swell here. No day where a surfer would look at the forecast and get excited. The only positive call I can make is for the Sunday the 12th afternoon glass-off – it’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll need a log and a lot of patience. Crowds are possible there, but the truth is, with waves this small, no one’s competing for them.

For this area, a blank run like this is pretty standard. It won’t stay this way forever, but for the next week and a half, it’s a longboard, flat-water paddle, or just stay home and watch the cams.
