The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – we’re in for a tough stretch at Beacon Point. The whole 16-day forecast is basically a write-off for any kind of decent surf. There’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for.
The pattern is weak and messy. We’ve got tiny, short-period swell coming in from the east-southeast, but the energy is just pathetic. Even the best bits of energy are barely registering, and the wind is nearly always wrong. You’ll see a bump in swell around August 6th and again on the 8th, where the combined energy climbs a little (105 and 130 respectively), but it’s still only around 3 ft and coming with a short 7-second period. On top of that, it’s accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and ugly.
For a point break that needs a clean easterly swell and offshore wind to really work, this is about as bad as it gets. The water temp is sitting around 83°, which is pretty standard for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Honestly, there are zero standouts. There’s no day where the wind lines up with that little bit of swell. You get a couple of mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions – like August 15th and 16th – but the waves are barely 1 ft. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
So, yeah. No recommendations from me. This is a blank run, and for Beacon Point, it’s not that unusual when the trade winds settle in and the swell stays small. Don’t write off the place forever; forecasts can change. But for now, save your wax and maybe go for a snorkel instead.
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.
