The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, grabbing the local forecast for Beacon Point. Let’s see what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, flat spell that just keeps on going. The first hint of any rideable surf isn't even a whisper until mid-August, and even then, it’s tiny. The water temp is sitting right at 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so that’s one thing we don’t have to worry about.
From Friday, July 31, right through until the end of the first week of August, the surf is basically non-existent. There’s a few days with a little pulse of energy, like Sunday afternoon, August 2, when the swell ticks up to 2ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and we get a clean offshore wind from the SW at 15 mph. That’s the best wind we’ll see all period, but the swell is still tiny. The combined wave energy that afternoon hits 39 (moderate), but it’s not enough to get excited about. The rest of that week is plagued by tiny surf and cross-shore or onshore winds, making it choppy and messy.
There’s a slight uptick on Friday, August 7, where the afternoon swell climbs to 3ft from the E with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 104 (moderate). But it’s blowing onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’s going to be bumpy and pretty poor quality. Not a standout.
The pattern continues through the second week: tiny, inconsistent waves from the east, with occasional clean windows. Monday morning, August 10, and Tuesday morning, August 11, offer a clean 1ft swell with a light offshore breeze from the WSW, but it’s a 6-second period, meaning weak, short-period slop. The energy is weak, only 18.
The only real *standout* window, and I’m using that term loosely, falls on the weekend of August 9-10. Sunday morning, August 9, has a 2ft swell from the E with a 7-second period, and a glassy offshore wind from the W at 3 mph. The energy is 29 (weak), but the conditions will be clean. It’s the best you’ll get, but it’s still a session for the longboard or a foamie. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and with the swell this small, it’s safe for anyone, but crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have company.
After that, it’s back to the same story: tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore for the rest of the forecast period. The 15th of August shows a 1ft swell from the ESE with an 8-second period, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, this is a poor run for Beacon Point. The swell is tiny, the energy is low, and the wind windows are rare. It’s a classic case of waiting for the next system to push through. Forecasts can change, but for now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
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.
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.
