The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on offer for this stretch of coast.
I'm not going to lie to you—this is a long, flat spell. We're looking at over a week of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. It's the kind of run that happens here, so don't get too wound up about it.
The first time you could even think about getting wet is on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, at Beacon Point. We've got a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy—dead calm. Combined energy is a weak 81. It's surfable, but you'll be scratching for anything. The water is running a bit colder than normal for the time of year, sitting at 27°—about 1° below average, so don't forget the booties if you're sensitive.
The next chance is the morning of Thursday, September 10th. Still small, only 1ft from the ESE, but the wind has turned offshore out of the west at 9 mph, cleaning it right up. Combined energy is a low 47. It's clean, but it's a knee-slapper.
And that's all she wrote. Nothing here is a standout. There's a pulse of bigger 5ft swell on Monday the 7th, but it's from the ENE with a short 7-second period and cross-shore wind—an ugly, bumpy mess you want no part of.
So, the honest truth: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a flat spell, and that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you're better off finding something else to do.
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.
