The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get straight into it.
Alright, mate, the short story is that it's a pretty quiet stretch at Beacon Point over the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a run of small, messy surf that's going to test your patience. There's a long gap here with barely anything worth paddling out for.
The first sign of any proper surf doesn't show up until way down the track. The forecast for Tuesday the 22nd of September has a bit of size, but it's a long way off and the conditions are a write-off. For the first week and a half, we're looking at tiny waves, often under 3ft, with poor quality and onshore or cross-onshore winds messing things up. The water temperature's sitting at a balmy 83°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
The only real standout, and I'm saying this with a big caveat because it's a long way out, is Tuesday the 22nd of September. On the morning of the 22nd, the swell is expected to push up to 5ft from the ENE, with a combined energy of (221) suggesting moderate wave energy. By the afternoon, it bumps up to 6ft ENE with a reading of (327), moving into strong energy territory. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit bumpy and disorganised, but the main issue is the wind. It's going to be howling onshore from the ENE at 16 mph, making it choppy and blown out. This is really only going to be for the most dedicated, and even then, the quality will be poor. It's a tough one to recommend.
Before that, there's a few mornings with clean conditions from the 10th to the 15th with light cross-off or glassy winds, but the swell is tiny, between 1.0ft and 2ft, with combined energy (29 to 59) showing very weak wave energy. Thursday the 10th of September morning has a chance of a thunderstorm but with a clean 2ft from the ENE, it's surfable but very ordinary. The period is a short 7 seconds, so no real power behind it. For a beginner at Beacon Point, which is a fairly consistent point break, the size is safe, but the quality is just not there.
So, the honest take is: there's really nothing worth getting excited about for the next 16 days. The waves are too small, the wind is often wrong, and the one day with some size is blown out. It's a blank run for the area, and it happens. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but for now, I'd leave the boards in the car.
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.
