The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone looking for a proper wave. The whole period is a flat spell with only tiny, short-period windswell and almost constant cross or onshore winds. There’s really nothing to get excited about, but let’s walk through it.
The first chance of anything even vaguely surfable comes on Saturday, July 25th, at Beacon Point, and even then, it’s a struggle. The swell is tiny, only 2 feet from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (59). The morning has a light offshore wind, which is a positive, but the waves are just too small and weak to do much with. The water temp is about 84°, which is normal for the time of year, so that’s something.
Sunday, July 26th, is much the same story. 2 feet from the E, period of 8 seconds, and weak energy (41). The wind is cross-offshore, which keeps it clean, but again, it’s barely surfable. The description says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which about sums it up.
Towards the end of the period, there’s a few more “surfable but ordinary” moments, but nothing that warrants a paddle out. The swell bumps up slightly on Monday afternoon, July 27th, to 3 feet from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (111). The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the quality is still poor.
The long-range forecast from July 30th onwards shows a few more moments of light offshore winds, but the swell is consistently tiny – 1 to 2 feet. The energy is in the teens or twenties. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. Look, with a break like Beacon Point being fairly consistent, this kind of blank run is a bit unusual, but forecasts can always change. For now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
Beacon Point is 30 km (19 miles) from Palm Valley. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Palm Valley. Palm Valley has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
