The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook for Beacon Point is a tough one. It’s a 16-day window, but we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing before we get a glimmer of hope. The good news is this spot is fairly consistent, so this blank run we’re in isn’t the usual story around here. Forecasts can change, and I’d bet on it.
Right out of the gate, from Wednesday the 9th to the 17th, it’s a write-off. Wave heights are barely a ripple, mostly between 1ft and 2.6ft. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values in the double digits (like 20 to 62) mostly. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, chopping up what little is there. Sure, there are a few glassy moments on the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 15th, but with waves that small, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
The water temp is 82.6°F on Wednesday morning. The anomaly is -0.2°F, so that’s about average for this time of year. Not a talking point, just normal tropical warmth.
Finally, around Friday the 18th, things start to stir. It’s nothing to write home about—a 2.6ft swell with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is still weak at 42, but at least the morning is glassy. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Friday afternoon gets messy again with the cross-on breeze.
The one bright spot, and I mean the single standout in this whole 16-day stretch, is Saturday morning, the 19th. We’ve got a 4.3ft swell from the ENE with a light offshore W wind. That combo is going to clean things right up. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 151, which is the highest we’ll see in the window. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it won’t be the most powerful wave, but for an exposed point break like Beacon Point, that east in the swell direction is on the money. It’s small enough for a beginner, but with the clean conditions, it’ll be fun for anyone. Expect some company, as crowds here are sometimes an issue.
Mark your calendar for that Saturday morning session. Saturday afternoon and everything after that falls apart again. The winds pick up hard from the northeast on the 20th, with fresh breezes hitting 22 mph, making it blown-out and messy. The swell starts to fade after that, and the onshore winds just kill any quality. The second week, from the 20th onward, is just poor. The energy stays low or mod, but the wind is all wrong, pushing the small, weak swell into a chop.
Honestly, that window on the 19th is your only real shot. Get on it. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

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.
