The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down the next 16 days at Beacon Point.
Honestly, this is a flat spell with very few windows to get wet. The first decent-looking surf doesn’t pop up until Tuesday the 18th of August, so there’s a long gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling for. The water temp is 81°, which is a touch cooler than average for the season.
From Sunday the 9th through Monday the 17th, it’s pretty much a desert. Waves stay under 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping things messy. A few mornings have clean, offshore breezes—like the 12th, 13th, and 14th—but with swell barely reaching 1ft, it’s not going to get you excited.
Tuesday the 18th of August morning is your best bet. It’s glassy with a light south wind, and while the waves are only about 2ft from the east with a 9-second period, it’s the cleanest conditions of the whole stretch. The combined energy is low, but it’s surfable. Wednesday the 19th morning is similar—glassy and 1ft. Thursday the 20th morning brings another glassy window with 2ft waves and a longer 11-second period, which will make for a bit more push and shape.
After that, it fades back into small, wind-affected slop through to the 24th. The moderate cross-onshore winds in the afternoons are a buzzkill, and the 17th afternoon does see a bump in energy but it’s choppy and blown out. That combo is more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
The standout is Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th of August, first light. It’s not big, but it’s clean. That’s all we’ve got.
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.
