The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Beacon Point.
Honestly, I'm looking at the next couple of weeks and wincing. For the first 14 days, from now right through to the 23rd of September, the wave energy is absolutely gutless. We're talking combined energy readings stuck below 100 (67, 35, 29... that sort of weaksauce). The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the period is short, under 8 seconds. It's barely a ripple. There are some glassy mornings in there, like Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th, but even then, there's just no push. It's a proper flat spell. If you're a beginner with a foamie, you might get a few knee-high wobblers, but for anyone else, it's a write-off.
Now, the real talk starts on the 24th of September, Thursday morning. Finally, a pulse of energy. We see a combo swell coming in from the ENE and NE, pushing 7ft to 8ft by Friday morning the 25th. The period stretches to 8 and then 9 seconds, which is much more like it. The combined energy jumps to 683, 842, and 798 – that’s proper moderate energy. The wind is the saving grace here, swinging offshore from the SW and WSW, promising clean, lined-up faces. This is where Beacon Point shines, because it’s a point break built for this kind of longer-period easterly groundswell with offshore wind. The swell direction is E and NE, which matches the optimum E swell direction for the break.
This window on Thursday the 24th afternoon and Friday the 25th morning is the standout. This isn't for beginners though – that 7ft to 8ft is expert territory. Expect a powerful, clean point break with proper walls. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so it might not be a party, but get there early. The water temp is running about average for this time of year. If you can wait it out, this is the one chance for a proper session.
Signing off, 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.
