The Lowdown
Right. Mate, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – looking at this Beacon Point forecast is a bit of a watch and wait. There’s no real standout session in the whole 16-day window. The swell is just too small and weak to get excited about, with the combined energy rarely climbing above 100 (171 is the highest, and that's attached to poor conditions), so this is a quiet patch. The run of blank days stretches from today right through to the end of the forecast, so don’t hold your breath for anything rideable.
The first real chance of anything surfable – and I’m using that word loosely – is around Sunday the 26th of July. Even then, it’s only a 2ft east swell with a weak 8-second period. The water temp is a pretty warm 84°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so at least the water feels nice. The morning of the 26th has a light west cross-off breeze, giving you clean conditions, but the surf quality is still described as very ordinary. It’s just not worth paddling out for anything more than a splash.
Through the week after that, there’s a few mornings with offshore or light winds – like the 28th, 29th, and 30th – but the swell is tiny, down to 1.0ft. Even with clean, glassy conditions on the 1st of August, the swell is still under 2ft. The break itself is a point that’s fairly consistent, with an optimum east swell direction, but the energy just isn’t there. For beginners, it’s too small to bother, and for anyone else, it’s a frustrating flat spell. If you absolutely have to get wet in something clean, you might get a knee-high wall on a glassy morning, but that’s about it. The crowds at Beacon Point can show up sometimes, but I don’t see anyone fighting for waves here. Honestly, keep your board in the car and maybe check the forecast in a week or two – these runs don’t tend to last forever.

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.
