The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's coming our way.
Honestly, for the next ten days, it's pretty flat out there. We're staring at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren't worth paddling out for. From now through the end of August and into the first week of September, it's mostly ankle-to-knee high stuff or smaller, with poor conditions a lot of the time. The water temp is sitting right around 84°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, the 1st of September. We finally see a jump in energy, getting into the moderate zone (109), with a clean, glassy morning on tap. That's a long period swell coming in too, a solid 16 seconds, from the east. Expect small, but better shaped lines at Beacon Point. The wind will be dead calm, so it'll be a pretty picture out there. It's still tiny, but it's the best we've seen in a while.
Then Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd keep the trend going with some more glassy mornings and a bit more energy in the water (118 and 116). Still small, waist-high at best, with that same east groundswell. It's not a standout, but it's surfable and clean.
After that, things get a bit messy again with onshore breezes. The next shot at something decent rolls in on Saturday, the 5th of September, with a clean morning window and a little bump in height. The real pick of the whole outlook, however, is Sunday morning the 6th of September. We get a glassy morning with a touch more size – pushing 3ft – from the east-northeast, and the energy is solid (131). It's still not big, but for a stretch of near-nothing, this is the one to circle. It'll be clean and the sets will have some push and shape, perfect for a longboard or a funboard.
The crowds at Beacon Point can show up sometimes, so on those clean mornings, it's worth getting your skates on.
That's it from me. Keep an eye on that first week of September. 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.
