The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Beacon Point are looking pretty grim. We're in a bit of a flat spell, and there's really nothing on the menu that's worth paddling out for.
The whole outlook is a long stretch of tiny, weak waves. We're talking ankle-to-knee high dribblers, with swell heights barely nudging past 1ft for days on end. The combined energy from all swells is constantly in the weak teens and twenties (like 12 to 32 energy), just not enough grunt to push a decent wave. The water temperature is sitting at 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're floating around waiting for nothing.
Friday the 21st through the weekend is a total write-off. Small, poor-quality surf with cross-shore breezes making it choppy and messy. There's a tiny window on Sunday morning, the 23rd, with a 0.7ft swell from the east and a period of 13 seconds – that's a long period, but with so little height, it's just a long wait between barely there bumps. A few mornings have glassy or light offshore winds, like Monday the 24th morning with a glassy 0.7ft, or Wednesday the 26th morning with a glassy 1ft, but the swell is so weak it's still not worth a mention.
The same flat, weak pattern drags on through the end of August and into the first week of September. The best we see is a tiny bump on Friday afternoon, the 28th of August, where the swell hits 2ft with a touch more energy (87), but it's from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds and a moderate cross-onshore wind. It's going to be a choppy, sloppy mess. For the rest of the run, it's the same story: 1ft to 2ft, short period, and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds.
Honestly, for a spot that's exposed to the east, this is a blank run. There's no stand-out day, no hidden gem. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if you're into that. Sometimes it just goes like this, and forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the board at home.
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.
