Beacon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s happening here. Honestly, mate, the next sixteen days are a tough watch for proper waves around Beacon Point. It’s a point break that’s exposed to the east, and it is fairly consistent, but the swell just isn’t there. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch.

The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

There’s a bit of a tease on the 10th of September, Thursday morning. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 6 mph, which is a major positive. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is weak, at 61. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’d be out there on a longboard, just getting a few little bumps. It’s beginners’ territory, but with the clean conditions, you might snag a few little fun ones if you’re desperate.

The 14th of September, Monday morning, is another one to look at. Glassy conditions with an ESE breeze at 3 mph, and the swell is a meagre 2 ft from the ESE, but with a 9-second period, which is a bit better shape. The combined energy is still weak at 45. Again, surfable but very ordinary.

Later in the week, on the 19th of September, Saturday morning, we get a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the east, but the period stretches to 12 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which is a positive sign for a point break like Beacon Point, as it can wrap in nicely. The combined energy is weak at 29, and you’ve got a light cross-onshore at 6 mph. The promise is there, but it’s a long way out and the size is tiny, so it’s a real long shot.

Honestly, the best on offer is that Thursday morning the 10th. It’s nothing to write home about, but with the clean conditions, it’s the standout. The other days are mostly blown out or too small. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 11th right through to the 13th, and then weak, small stuff until the 19th. Don’t expect any fireworks.

Rusty.
