The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down this forecast for Beacon Point. I gotta be honest, it's a lean stretch. Don’t get too excited for any hero sessions.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long dry spell. Starting Tuesday the 11th of August and running all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August, the surf is pretty much a write-off. Swell heights are tiny, mostly around 1 foot to 2 feet, and the energy is weak. The wind is messy too, mostly onshore or side-shore, keeping things choppy. It’s the kind of week you’d spend cleaning the wax off your board.
Now, the first real glimmer of something rideable shows up on Wednesday the 19th of August in the morning. We get a brief moment of class. The wind drops to glassy, and a long-period groundswell rolls in from the East at about 1 feet with a period of 12 seconds. The energy is still modest, so it ain't gonna be pumping, but it'll be clean. That long period means better-shaped waves, but at a beachy setup like this, it might break a little straight. Still, for a beginner-friendly spot like Beacon Point, that 1 feet on a glassy morning is about as good as it gets in this forecast. Just a heads up, crowds are possible here.
The rest of the outlook just kind of fades out. Thursday the 20th of August bumps up to 2 feet from the East, but the onshore wind chops it up. After that, it’s back to tiny dribble for the final week, with the only other quiet spot being the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August which gets glassy but only offers 1 feet.
So, my call is simple: If you’re itching for a paddle, keep your eyes on that Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. It’s the one clean window. The rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
