The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I gotta level with you about Beacon Point. This is a tough one.
We’ve got a long dry spell ahead. The first day that even looks like it might have a pulse isn’t until Wednesday, September 16th. That’s a gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth your time.
Right now, starting the 1st, it’s all tiny and weak. Tuesday the 1st has a 2ft east swell, short period, onshore wind, and the water’s 82°F, a bit cooler than average. The wave energy is barely there (39). The whole first week is the same: knee-high slop, cross-onshore breezes, and poor conditions. Friday the 5th has a glassy morning but only 1ft of swell – that’s a flat day.
The second week doesn’t offer much relief. Mornings are often glassy, but the swell stays tiny – 1ft to 1ft – from the east-southeast. The combined energy stays in the teens and twenties, which is weak. It’s a real shame because the winds are often clean, but there’s no ocean energy.
The only thing that even gets a little interesting is Wednesday, September 16th. We finally see a bump with a 5ft swell from the east-northeast. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but the combined energy jumps to 213 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-on in the morning, which could make it workable for a shortboard, but the afternoon wind turns onshore and spoils it. This is strictly for the dedicated locals.
So, to wrap it up, there’s no real standout session here. The best shot is that Wednesday morning on the 16th, but don’t expect much. Sometimes the forecasts change, but right now, it’s a pretty bleak outlook for Beacon Point.
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.
