The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here with your local surf outlook.
I won’t sugar-coat it: we’ve got a real dry patch headed our way. Looking at Beacon Point, the next several days through late August into early September are looking like a total write-off. We’re talking combined swell energy barely hitting 20-30, tiny swell, and a messy mix of cross-off and onshore winds. Basically, flat to near-flat conditions.
This lull sticks around for a solid week. Things start to perk up just a touch around Wednesday, September 2nd. That morning looks glassy with clean conditions, but the swell is just 0.6m from the east, making it very small. It’s barely surfable, something for a foiler or a big board on a flat day. Thursday and Friday mornings offer cleaner conditions with light offshore winds, but the surf is still in the 0.6m to 0.8m range, so it’s pretty marginal for most.
The one true standout is Saturday, September 6th, in the morning. We’ve got a cleaner 1.4m east-northeast groundswell rolling in with a 10-second period. The combined swell energy jumps to 363, and with light offshore WSW breezes, the conditions are set to be good. This is easily the best session in the entire forecast. It might be a touch big for beginners, and the direction isn’t the perfect east swell, but the glassy, clean conditions and solid waves will make for a fun morning. The water temp of 29° is about normal for this time of year.
Saturday afternoon sees the wind shift, and Sunday gets messier again with onshore flow, so the morning window is the clear winner. There’s a long wait, but that Saturday should offer some quality waves.
Keep an eye on it, conditions can change, and this stretch of flatness won't hang around forever.

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.
