The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our local waters.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid run of flat, junk conditions for the next week or so. The wave energy is just pathetic, with readings barely climbing into double digits most days. That first little glimmer of hope doesn’t even show up until Thursday, the 3rd of September, and even then, it’s not much to write home about.
For the first several days, it’s all small, weak windswell with no real push. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping everything up. It’s a tough go.
The one true standout, and I mean the only real window of opportunity, is Thursday morning, the 3rd of September at Beacon Point. We finally get a bit of a pulse. The swell comes up to a mere 2ft out of the East, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 70 – still weak, but it’s something. The real magic is the wind: it’s glassy. Dead calm. For a spot that’s exposed to the East, with that optimum swell direction, those conditions will make it rideable. The water is a warm 83° down there, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. It’s a beginner-friendly break and fairly consistent, but do expect a few other folks out as crowds can happen there.
After that brief moment of clarity, it gets messy again. The afternoon of the 3rd gets chopped up by a moderate cross-shore breeze, and the rest of the forecast is a mixed bag of onshore winds, rain, and more tiny surf. Offshore breezes pop up on the 8th and 9th of September, but the swell is still too small and weak to really get excited about. The energy sits in the 70-80 range, which is just enough for a grovel session on a log.
So, there you have it. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions with only one morning that’s worth dragging your board out for. Keep an eye on the sky, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
