The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Beacon Point over the next couple of weeks is pretty flat. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch.
The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
The first few days, from Saturday the 18th right through to the end of the following week, it’s all tiny, weak swell. We're talking ankle to knee-high slop with no energy to speak of. The combined energy barely cracks 100 (13 to 87 range), and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore. There are a few cleaner moments on the 22nd morning and 23rd morning with offshore breezes, but the swell is still just pitiful – 3.0ft of short-period, weak ESE windswell. It’s surfable, but it’s only for someone desperate to get wet.
The standouts, if you can call them that, are the mornings of Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd. On Wednesday the 22nd morning, it’s clean with a cross-offshore wind and a 3.3ft ESE swell. Then on Thursday the 23rd morning we get a proper offshore wind from the SW, which will keep the 3.0ft ESE swell glassy. These are the only times you might find a waist-high wave that isn't completely blown out. Even then, the energy is laughable (78 on the 23rd). The break is a point and fairly consistent, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it’s going to be a tough paddle for tiny rewards. After the 25th, it just gets smaller again, with a few glassy moments on the 31st but swell barely a ripple.
Honestly, there isn't one day in this 16-day window that looks worth getting excited about. Keep the board in the car and the wax in the wrapper. Hang in there.

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.
