The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s been a dry spell and this forecast ain’t changing that for a while. For the first bunch of days, it’s straight up flat. There’s no swell to speak of and a lot of junky wind. You’re looking at small, short-period waves with onshore chop – not worth getting the board wet.
From Friday the 7th through to Sunday the 16th, it’s a real waiting game. We see a bump to 1.1m on Saturday the 8th, but it’s messy and the period is short. The energy is moderate at times, but the quality is poor. A couple of glassy mornings pop up, but with only 0.4m of swell, it’s just not breaking with any power. It’s frustrating.
Then, finally, around Monday the 17th, there’s a hint of life. The mornings are getting cleaner with some light offshore wind, and the swell starts to show a little more consistency. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th both have clean, glassy mornings with waves in the 2ft range. It’s still small, but it’s clean and rideable.
The pick of the whole run is Wednesday morning the 19th at Beacon Point. You’ve got a light offshore breeze, clean lines, and the swell is coming from the ESE, which is exactly what this break wants. It’s only about a foot and a half, but it will be the most fun you’ll have all forecast period. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so it’s a good time to get out there.
We’ve got another small, glassy window on Friday the 21st, but it’s a tease more than anything.
So, keep the board in the car and your expectations low. The best bet is the 17th through the 19th, especially Wednesday morning. That’s over a week out, so things could change, but right now, that’s the light at the end of the tunnel. Check back in on that one.

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.
