The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are lookin’ grim for a proper paddle. We’re talkin’ a long stretch of tiny, weak surf that’s hardly gonna get your fins wet.
This whole run kicks off on Friday the 28th of August, but don’t get your hopes up. We’re looking at swell around 1 ft from the east with a measly 9-second period and wave energy barely registerin’ at 29. It’s crossed-off and messy with a risk of thunderstorms. That’s a hard pass. Honestly, from that point all the way through to the 8th of September, we’ve got a solid block of nothing special. The waves are just too small – mostly under 2 ft – and while we get a few moments of clean conditions, the energy is just pathetic. On the 2nd of September, we see a little bump of energy at 112, but it’s still just 2 ft and onshore, so it’s junk.
Now, we finally get a tiny flicker of life on the 9th of September, Wednesday morning. It’s nothin’ to write home about, but it’s the best we’ll get. Beacon Point is our only joint in town. The swell is a tiny 1 ft out of the ESE with a 10-second period and moderate energy (56). The wind is gonna be light offshore from the WSW, keepin’ it clean, and by the afternoon it goes glassy. For a spot that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the east, this is the one moment that’s actually surfable, though it’s still very ordinary. The water temp is 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
So here’s the truth: there’s no standout, no pumpin’ day. If you are absolutely dyin’ for a wave, hit Beacon Point (Beacon-Point) on the morning of September 9th. It’s a beginner-friendly point break, so it won’t be scary, but it’ll be tiny. Just be ready for a crowd, ‘cause it gets busy sometimes. For the rest of the stretch? Save your energy. The blank run is basically the whole 16 days. A couple of those afternoons look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with the wind and small chop.
Stay patient, mates. Forecasts can change. Rusty out.

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.
