Beacon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin'.

First off, I gotta be straight with you: this 16-day window for Beacon Point is mostly a bust. We've got a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions with onshore winds and tiny swell. The water's sitting at a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only nice thing I can say about the first week and a half. From the 16th of September right through to the morning of the 28th, every report is "poor surf conditions." There's a few glassy moments on the 21st, 22nd, and 25th mornings, but the swell is tiny—like 1ft to 1ft—so it's flat, clean, but flat. Not worth paddling out for.

Then things finally get interesting on the afternoon of the 28th of September. A new SE swell shows up, pushing 6ft with a period around 8 seconds. The wind swings offshore from the West with a light breeze, and that's the one standout in the whole forecast. The combined swell energy hits 675 (moderate to strong), and the conditions are described as "clean." This is your best bet: Beacon Point. The swell direction from the ESE is a decent match for the break's optimum from the East. It's a fairly consistent point break, so it should handle it well. The water's still plenty warm. Keep in mind this is over a week out, so the details could shift, but that window on the 28th afternoon looks promising.

The morning of the 29th keeps the 6ft SE swell going with a longer 9-second period, and a SSW cross-offshore breeze early, making for clean waves. The energy is still strong at 526. It's a good follow-up session, but a little less tidy than the afternoon before.

Beyond that, it fades fast. The 30th drops to a weak 2ft, and by the 1st of October, we're back to tiny dribble. So, for the entire 16 days, there's really only one true highlight: the afternoon of the 28th of September. If you can wait for it, that's your day.

Rusty.
