The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Beacon Point are a total write-off. There’s no real surf on offer. The whole stretch from Tuesday 14 July right through to Wednesday 29 July is just one long run of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. But the wave energy? It’s barely registering – most days the combined energy is under 30 (like 18, 21, 28), and even the highest nudges only 84 (weak). That’s not enough to get excited about.
Beacon Point is a point break that’s usually fairly consistent, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot with a WSW offshore ideal. But the swell we’re seeing is miniscule – 0.7ft to 2ft most days, coming from ESE or E, which is close to the optimum E direction, but the size is just pathetic. The period is short too, mostly 6–10 seconds, so no real grunt. Winds are often cross-off or offshore, which is clean, but with waves that small you’re barely paddling for a ripple.
There is one tiny glimmer: on Saturday 25 July morning, the swell nudges 1ft with a 12-second period from E, and the wind is a light cross-off. The combined energy hits 52 (still weak, but better). The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – so yeah, you could probably get a few knee-high dribblers, but it’s nothing to plan a session around. Afternoon that day goes back to poor. The rest of the window is just poor surf, poor surf, poor surf.
Honestly, for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a real dud stretch. If you’re desperate, you might find a tiny clean wave on the 25th morning, but otherwise, save your energy. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing worth chasing.

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.
Beacon Point is 30 km (19 miles) from Palm Valley. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Palm Valley. Palm Valley has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
