Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beacon Point over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Beacon Point is a total bust. There’s no surf worth paddling out for. The whole run is flat and weak, with tiny little waves that never crack a proper shape. The first bit of real energy doesn’t even show up until Thursday, 16 July, and even then it’s barely a pulse.
We kick off with Sunday, 12 July, through to Wednesday, 15 July – nothing. Zilch. Dead flat. The swell is around 1ft to 1ft from the ESE, with periods of 8 to 9 seconds, and combined swell energy is a measly 16 to 27. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. A few mornings are glassy or light offshore, but the wave is just too small to do anything with.
Thursday, 16 July afternoon, there’s a tiny lift – 2ft from the SE, period 8 seconds, combined energy of 55. The wind goes offshore from the WSW at 15 km/h, so it’s clean. But honestly, 2ft is ankle-to-knee high. It’s surfable, but only just, and very ordinary. Not worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate.
From Friday, 17 July, right through to Monday, 27 July, it’s back to the same story: 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly from the ESE or SE, periods between 3 and 8 seconds. Combined energy ranges from 5 to 49. The wind is often cross-offshore or offshore, so the surface is clean, but the wave height is pathetic. There’s a brief moment on Saturday, 25 July, when the swell nudges 2ft, but it’s straight from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds – no shape, no push.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Beacon Point is a beginner-friendly point break, usually fairly consistent, but not this month. It’s a tough stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. If you’re a kite surfer, the wind is often light to moderate, so not even that looks exciting.
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.
