Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf outlook for Beacon Point. I gotta be honest, it's a rough patch. We're looking at a long stretch of very small, weak swell and wind that's mostly working against us. There's really nothing to get stoked about for the full 16 days.

It all starts Thursday, July 2nd, with a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE. The period is short at 8 seconds, the combined wave energy is a weak 113, and there's a 9 mph onshore wind from the ENE. The surf is poor.

The next few days are the same script: ankle to knee-high waves. On Saturday morning, July 4th, we finally get glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft from the ESE with an 8-second period and the energy has dropped to 42. The notes say it's "surfable but very ordinary." That's the highlight, and that's not saying much.

This flat, weak pattern holds steady. Swell heights barely break 3ft, periods stay short around 8 seconds, and the wind is either onshore or blowing across the break, trashing any chance of quality. There's a slight uptick in combined energy on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, hitting 92, but it's paired with a 16 mph cross-shore wind from the SSE. The period is still just 8 seconds. It's a no-go.

The closest we get to a workable window is Thursday morning, July 9th, with a 2ft ESE swell at a 9-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the SW. The report calls it "surfable but very ordinary." For a 16-day outlook, that's the best on offer, and it's still a far cry from good.

In short, there isn't a single standout session in this entire forecast. The consistent theme is small waves, poor quality, and uncooperative wind. The water temperature at the start of the period is about 84°F, which is a touch above average for early July, so at least the water feels good. But the waves just aren't there. For a beginner, the tiny conditions are safe, but not really worth the trip. For anyone else, it's a complete pass. Sometimes you get a blank run like this.

Keep your eyes peeled, things can change, but for now, don't get your hopes up.

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.
