The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the long-range look at Beacon Point. I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is a real bummer. It's flat, flat, flat. We're going to have to wait until nearly the end of the run to see anything with a pulse.
From Thursday the 20th through to the start of September, it's all tiny stuff. You're looking at ankle-to-knee high slop, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 100 (16 to 92). That's weak. The wind does turn offshore or glassy on a few mornings – like Saturday the 22nd, Sunday the 23rd, Monday the 24th, and Wednesday the 26th – with light WSW or SW breezes. The water will be like a mirror, but there’s just no power behind it. A 0.2m to 0.5m swell with a short period isn't going to get you anywhere.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Friday the 28th of August morning. A 0.5m bump from the ESE with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze. It’s still marginal, but it's the first time we see a bit of energy (53). The water temp is a warm 30°, pretty average for the time of year.
The one window that might be worth the wait is Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We get clean, calm conditions with a 1.4m groundswell from the NE. The combined wave energy gets into moderate territory at 187, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft. That morning glass-off is your best bet. The ESE cross-on wind will kill it by the afternoon, but for a few hours, there might be a rideable wave.
If you're desperate, the 4th of September morning has a similar, slightly smaller 1.2m NE swell with a glass-off. But for any real action, this is a long-range hope. For now, it's looking like a stretch of flat days. Fingers crossed the models shift.

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.
