The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Look, I'll be straight with you – we've got a pretty bleak run ahead. For the next two weeks, Beacon Point is basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. There's a stretch of days with absolutely nothing worth getting wet for, and then only the faintest whisper of surfable but very ordinary waves pops up. It's one of those periods where you're better off checking the forecast again in a few days, because honestly, there's not a single standout session on the cards.
Starting from Monday, August 10th, we're looking at small, weak, and messy little waves. Through the whole first week and into the next, we're stuck with knee-high slop or smaller. The swell energy is weak, barely reaching (28) to (39) on Monday, and that's as good as it gets for a while. Winds are all over the shop – cross, cross-on, and onshore – making a mess of what little bump there is. There are a few glassy windows, like Tuesday morning the 11th and Saturday morning the 15th, but honestly, the swell is so tiny (1 ft from the ESE with a short 7-second period) that it's just a flat, oily lake. Not a wave in sight.
We finally see the swell energy tick up to (100) on Monday afternoon, August 17th, with a 2 ft ESE swell at 8 seconds. But the conditions are still "very ordinary" and the score is a 1 out of 10. That's your best option, and it's a poor one. Then on Tuesday morning, August 18th, it's a similar story with (51) energy and clean, light offshore winds from the WNW, but still just 1 ft. It's ridable for a log, maybe, but don't expect much.
So the long and short of it: we've got a 16-day window with no proper swell. The only surfable moments come around Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th of August, but they are tiny and weak. The setup here is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind picks up. This is just one of those blank runs for the area; it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
