Beacon Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta level with ya. We're staring down a pretty grim run of surf ahead. The first recommendation doesn't pop up until Saturday the 25th, and even then, it's not exactly something to write home about. That's a solid three-day wait with absolutely nothing on offer, which is a tough pill to swallow.

From Wednesday the 22nd all the way through Friday the 24th, it's just flat or junky. Cross-shore winds, some onshore chop, and tiny little waves that aren't worth gettin' wet for. The water temp is sittin' at 84°F which is about normal for this time of year, but it's a tease with no swell to enjoy it in.

Saturday 25th – There's a flicker of hope in the morning. Beacon Point is gonna see a tiny 2ft swell from the east, and the wind goes glassy. The combined swell energy is weak (44), and the period's short at 8 seconds, so it's gonna be small, weak and a bit bumpy. It's surfable, but only just. If you're desperate for a paddle, this is your window. The break is exposed to easterly swell, and the optimum direction is E, so at least the angle is there. It's a point break that's fairly consistent and beginner-friendly, so you might not be alone – crowds are possible. But honestly, the conditions are just "ordinary."

After Saturday morning, the surf quality just falls off a cliff again. The rest of the weekend and all of the next week are plagued by tiny 0.6ft to 2ft waves. We get some clean, offshore wind windows with light breezes from the WSW, which would be perfect if there was any swell to work with, but there isn't. The energy readings barely crack double digits, often below (20). It's a classic flat spell.

Looking into the second week, we get a run of clean, offshore mornings from Wednesday the 29th through to Sunday the 2nd of August, and even a glassy morning on the 3rd, but the swell heights are pathetic – all under 1ft. The period stays short at 8-9 seconds. There just isn't enough water moving to break over the point. It's a waiting game.

There's really only one standout window: the Saturday 25th morning glass-off. For a beginner, that's the only time it's safe and remotely rideable. Everything else is either for the flat spell crew or for the kite surfers if the wind picks up enough to get planing on the beach setup. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, it's a definite drought.

Rusty.
