The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Beacon Point.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you: this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for surf. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 1ft to 2ft, and the direction is mostly from the East. That’s the optimum for Beacon Point, sure, but the size just isn’t there to do much with it. For the first week, from Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Tuesday the 1st of September, the conditions are poor. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making a mess of what little bump there is. The combined swell energy is weak, staying under 100 (between 12 and 88). It’s just not worth paddling out for.
There is a glimmer of hope on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. The wind goes glassy, SW at 5 km/h, and we get a 1ft East swell with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which means it’ll have a bit of shape and energy behind it, but the size is still tiny. The combined energy is 49, so still weak. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s the best of a bad lot. You might get a few clean little ones if you’re desperate.
Then again on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, we get a clean offshore wind from the WSW at 5 km/h, with a 1ft ESE swell. The combined energy is 47. Same story, very small, but clean. Saturday morning, the 5th of September, is another sniff with a cross-offshore NW wind and a 2ft E swell, but again, it’s just not enough.
After that, from the 7th of September onward, it flatlines completely. Swell drops to 0.7ft, combined energy falls to single digits. It’s a full-on drought.
The standout, if you can call it that, is that Wednesday morning on the 2nd of September. It’s the only time the wind is glassy and the swell has a proper long period. But it’s a beginner-level wave at 1ft, so don’t expect anything exciting. The water temp is 84°F, which is about average for the time of year.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing good to chase here. The forecast is bleak, and the surf is tiny and messy. This is one of those stretches where you just wait for a better forecast.
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.
