The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on offer at Beacon Point.
To be honest, mate, it's a bleak outlook. Over this 16-day stretch, the surf is gonna be missing for the vast majority of it. There's a long dry spell from the start right through until the middle of next week.
The only time you might want to bother is on the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. It's tiny, with a 2ft swell from the ESE at 11 seconds. The combined energy is weak (93). The big selling point is the wind: it's glassy. That's a game-changer for a wave this size, giving you a perfect, clean surface. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year. Beacon Point is a beginner-friendly point that's open to the east, so this ESE swell is a good match. It'll be weak and small, but you could have a laugh on a longboard. Keep an eye out, though, as it can get crowded here.
After that morning, it's all over. The swell drops back to under 2ft with short, weak periods, and the wind turns mostly onshore or side-shore. There isn't another day worth mentioning. Honestly, this setup looks more suited to a kite than a surfboard for the rest of the period. Forecasts can change, but right now, that one glassy morning is your only real window.

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.
