The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size it up in feet and miles per hour.
The whole 16-day window is pretty flat. The first sniff of a wave comes Saturday morning, 30th August, at Beacon Point – a point break that’s fairly consistent, beginner-friendly, and sometimes gets a crowd. It’s exposed to east swell.
That Saturday morning, you’re looking at a tiny 1 ft of east swell, with glassy wind from the ESE at 3 mph. Water temp is 82°, about 2° cooler than the long-term average – nothing crazy. The combined energy is weak (25), and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s just a little ripple. Conditions are poor, so don’t get your hopes up.
That afternoon, the wind turns cross-onshore from the NE at 9 mph, and the swell drops to 1.0 ft.
Sunday, 31st August, morning has 2 ft of east swell, but it’s onshore wind from the NE at 6 mph, with a very short 5-second period. Energy is weak (22). Afternoon bumps to 2 ft but onshore ENE wind at 12 mph.
Monday, 1st September, sees 2 ft, short period, light cross-onshore winds. Energy is still weak (48).
Tuesday, 2nd September, morning is clear with onshore ENE wind at 3 mph, 2 ft at 8 seconds (35 energy). Afternoon is 2 ft at 7 seconds (36 energy), still onshore.
Wednesday, 3rd September, morning has 2 ft of east swell, period lengthening to 11 seconds, and energy jumps to 122 – moderate. Wind is onshore from the ENE at 6 mph. Afternoon: 3 ft, 10 seconds, 130 energy, still onshore.
Thursday, 4th September, morning is the best of the lot: 4 ft from the ESE, 9 seconds, and a solid 298 energy. Wind is a light cross-onshore from the ESE at 6 mph, but conditions are still only marginal. Afternoon drops to 3 ft and 140 energy.
From Friday, 5th September, onward, it’s mostly tiny swells under 2 ft with weak energy. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday, 10th September, with 2 ft at 11 seconds and 97 energy, but it’s still “surfable waves but very ordinary.” The second week is all knee-high dribble.
So, the only real highlight is Thursday morning, 4th September, with that 4 ft ESE swell and moderate energy. If you’re after a paddle, that’s your best bet, but it’s not a day to call in sick for.

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.
