The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Beacon Point.
Honestly, the next couple weeks are a bit of a bust. The first day I’d even think about paddling out is Monday, September 21st, so you’re looking at a solid week-plus of weak, crummy surf. We get a few glassy mornings and even some offshore puffs here and there, but the swell just doesn’t show up. Water temp’s about 83°, which is normal for this time of year.
So, let’s start with Monday morning, September 21st. The wind’s light and cross-offshore from the SW, and we’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NE. The period is short, only 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 152. It’s clean, it’s rideable, but not exactly firing. The afternoon gets wrecked by a cross-onshore breeze.
The one to circle on your calendar is Tuesday, September 22nd. Morning brings a 5ft swell from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 293 – that’s solid. Wind is cross-offshore from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon stays clean too, with a 4ft ENE swell still pumping. That 5ft morning swell is getting a bit big for beginners, but for everyone else, this is the best we’ve got. Beacon Point is a point break that breaks fairly consistently, and this ENE swell lines up nicely with the optimal east swell direction. Just expect some company – it can get crowded.
After that, it dries up again into small, choppy waves through the end of the month. There is a longer-period swell showing up on Saturday the 26th – 3ft from the ENE with a 12-second period, and the energy is high at 264, so it’ll be clean and powerful, but that’s a long way out.
So, stick to Tuesday the 22nd. Monday the 21st is a so-so warm-up, but Tuesday is where it’s at. Everything else is just not happening.

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.
