The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same surf window but in feet and miles per hour.
First, the bad news. There’s a huge dry spell coming up. Starting Monday, the 24th of August, and going all the way through the end of the month and into the first couple of days of September, the surf is basically flat. The tiny waves that show up are wrecked by the wind, and the energy is pitiful. It’s a real tough stretch for any surfer.
The first hint of life comes on the morning of Tuesday, the 1st of September. Beacon Point is showing a tiny 0.3m (about 1 foot) easterly swell, but it’s got a long period of 16 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the water temp is 29° which is pretty normal for this time of year. The energy is still weak at 75, so it’s not a world-beater, but at least it’s clean and you might get a couple of fun ones.
The real standout is the morning of Friday, the 4th of September. This is the day. The swell is up to 0.8m (around 3 feet) from the east with a solid 13-second period, and the energy is getting strong at 209. The wind is offshore and light from the WSW, so the waves will be clean. This is the best window of the whole 16-day stretch. The afternoon looks even better in terms of energy, with a 0.9m (3 foot) easterly swell and a 12-second period, and the wind stays offshore, though it’s a bit stronger. The energy hits 247. Beacon Point is a point break, so it’ll really make the most of that long-period east swell. Just remember, crowds are a possibility here.
After that, the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September looks like it’ll get messy with onshore winds and storms, so make sure you’re out there on the 4th.
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.
