The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Beacon Point is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with no real energy to speak of. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely cracks double digits for most of the period, and when it does it’s in the weak range (9 to 73).
The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about there.
Let’s run through it. Starting Friday, July 17th, we’ve got a pathetic 0.7ft swell from the east-southeast with a short 8 second period. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the surf is just too small to bother. The poor conditions continue right through the weekend and into the following week. We’re talking about 0.7ft to 3ft of swell, mostly from the southeast, with periods bouncing between 4 and 8 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not groundswell. The wind is often cross-off or clean, but the wave size just isn’t there.
It’s not until Sunday, July 26th, that we see the "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" tag appear. The swell is still tiny, only 2ft to 2ft from the east, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (50). The wind is offshore from the west-southwest at 9 mph, which is clean, but the waves are too small to ride with any real enthusiasm. This is the best we get, but it’s a very low bar.
After that, we get a few more days of the same small, weak surf. The morning of Wednesday, July 29th, is glassy with a 1ft east swell at 9 seconds, but it’s just too small to be a proper session. The combined energy is only 34. The pattern of tiny, weak swell continues right through to the end of the period on August 1st.
The bottom line is this: we have a massive gap of poor to non-existent surf. There are no standout days, no proper swell, and no real reason to paddle out. The only consolation is that when the swell is this small and the wind is offshore, the setup could be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For a wave rider, save your energy and wait for the next system.
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.
