The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Beacon Point is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch here. The first surf worth even talking about doesn’t kick in until Sunday the 13th of September, and even then, it’s barely a pulse. Before that, from now through to the 12th, it’s a dead zone. Tiny swell, poor conditions, and scores that are absolute zeros. Nothing to get excited about. You’re looking at nearly a week of flat to near-flat water, so don’t even bother checking the cam until the second weekend.
The first real tease comes on Sunday the 13th of September, early morning. Beacon Point is a beginner-friendly point break, and it’s a fairly consistent spot. The water temperature is sitting around 82°, which is about normal for this time of year. For a few hours on Sunday morning, we get a bit of glassy magic. The wind is dead calm, and there’s a tiny ESE swell pushing in at 1 ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 45 (only two digits), so it’s not going to knock your socks off. The guide says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that’s the best we get. It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s a rare moment of peace. The optimum swell direction for this spot is from the east, and this swell is coming from the ESE, so it’s in the right neighbourhood. If you’re a beginner just wanting to get wet, this is your window. Expect crowds sometimes, as it’s a known spot.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the second week is a mix of tiny swell, cross-onshore winds, and poor surf conditions. The combined energy numbers stay in the double digits, often in the teens or fifties, and the swell heights barely nudge above 2 ft. There’s a long-period 12-second swell on the 19th, but it’s only 0.7 ft from the east, with a cross-onshore breeze – just a teasing rumble with no real push. The 20th of September offers a hint of ENE swell at 1 ft with a 10-second period, but again, the wind is messy. It’s a frustrating outlook, but this area can turn around quickly. Stay tuned.
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.
