The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good look at what’s on the table for Beacon Point over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long dry spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for from Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to Wednesday the 2nd of September. The waves are tiny and the conditions are mostly messy. A few mornings show clean or even glassy water, but with swell heights barely reaching 2ft and weak energy, it’s just not doing anything. The wind does swing offshore or go glassy a couple of times, but the swell is so small it’s a non-starter.
Finally, on Wednesday the 2nd of September in the afternoon, we see a slight bump. Swell picks up to 2ft from the ESE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell period, and the energy climbs to a moderate level. But the wind is cross-onshore and it’s fairly choppy, so the quality isn’t there. The morning of Thursday the 3rd of September is a little cleaner with a light cross-onshore, but the swell drops back to 2ft.
Honestly, the best of a quiet bunch looks like the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. The wind goes totally glassy – dead calm – and the water will be clean. Swell is only 1ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, with weak energy. It’s not going to give you much push, but if you’ve got a log and just want to glide around in perfect conditions, that’s your window. For a beginner-friendly point break like Beacon Point, that small glassy morning is about as user-friendly as it gets. The water temp is a normal 83° for this time of year.
Sunday the 6th of September morning is also glassy, but the swell is even smaller at 0.7ft. After that, we get a shift in wind and a little more size, but the direction goes northeasterly and the conditions get onshore and choppy through to the end of the forecast. There’s nothing that stands out as a proper session.
Bottom line: it’s a long, flat run with very few windows. Keep the board waxed for that Saturday morning glass-off, but don’t expect much. Forecasts can change, though.
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.
