The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Gotta level with you – this 16-day outlook for the local zone is as flat as a millpond. We’re in for a long stretch of tiny, weak dribble, so don’t get your hopes up for anything pumping.
Right now, there’s nothing doing. A tiny east swell is in the water, but the energy is a measly 58 – that’s practically nothing. Water temp is 83°, right about normal for the season.
The next several days are a total bust. Through the end of July and into the first few days of August, we’re stuck with waves under 2 ft. You’ll see some glassy mornings, like Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July, but the ocean is flat. We get some clean offshore wind on Wednesday the 29th, but there’s no swell to use it. This dry spell runs for more than a week.
Finally, we get a little pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August. We’re talking 2 ft waves at best, but the combined energy climbs into the 40s and 50s, so there’s a bit more life. This is where Beacon Point becomes your only real option. It’s a point break, fairly consistent, and it works on this ESE swell. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so the small size is perfect for getting wet.
The best chance for a clean one is the Monday morning of the 3rd of August. The swell is 2 ft from the ESE, and it’s glassy with no wind. It’s tiny, sleepy, but clean as a whistle. That’s about as good as it gets.
The standout in this flat spell is actually Thursday the 6th of August. The afternoon sees a 2 ft SE swell push the combined energy up to 76, and it’s glassy – dead calm. That’s the most juice in the whole 16 days. The waves are short-period, around 8 seconds, so no real power, but it’s your best shot at a few fun little rides.
The second week stays stubbornly small. We get glassy mornings on the 8th and 9th with 1 ft to 2 ft swells, but the energy never really returns. Some afternoons get choppy with onshore wind.
If you’re itching for a paddle, hit Beacon Point on the morning of the 3rd or the afternoon of the 6th of August. Otherwise, it’s a perfect time to sit this one out.
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.
Beacon Point is 30 km (19 miles) from Palm Valley. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Palm Valley. Palm Valley has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
