The Lowdown
G'day. Rusty here. Let's cut to it – the next two weeks are going to test your patience. The surf is puny, the winds are mostly all over the shop, and we're looking at a long stretch where the ocean just doesn't have much push behind it. Don't get me wrong, it's not flat, but it's a far cry from what we'd call good.
The whole run is dominated by weak, short-period windswell out of the east-southeast. The first real chance is around Saturday, August 8th. The morning has that magic word – glass. A 3-foot swell and clean conditions at Beacon Point. The energy is still weak, only 98, so it's not a day to be a hero, but it's the first time you won't be fighting a messy onshore breeze. This is your window for a longboard. Later that day, the cross-onshore comes back and ruins it. Keep your expectations low.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. From Monday the 3rd right through to Friday the 7th, it's mostly poor, chopped-out conditions with hardly any waves. A bit more swell shows Thursday afternoon, but the wind just kills it.
After that one clean morning on Saturday, we're back into a rough pattern. The swell stays small and practically every day after has a cross-onshore or onshore breeze. You'll see glassy moments Tuesday the 11th morning and Wednesday the 12th, but the swell drops to 2 feet with periods of 6 seconds. It's barely breaking. These are days to maybe catch up on sleep.
The good news? There is one true standout on the horizon. It’s a long way off, but look at Monday morning, August 18th. We've got a 2-foot swell with a bit more west in the wind, making it cross-offshore and clean. Still small, but the energy reading jumps to 50, and the water will be so much nicer. It's not big, but it's the cleanest, most promising session of the whole fortnight. It's a promise of better things, but we've got a long dry spell before that.
So, to sum it up: one clean morning on the 8th for the small stuff, a whole lot of nothing in the middle, and a hopeful finish on the 18th. It's a dry spell, but these things never last forever. The ocean will change. Keep the boards waxed and the faith.
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.
