Table - best surf conditions forecast for Blacknose Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk Blacknose Point. Point break, mostly for the experienced crew, and it picks up a good SSW swell. Takes a bit of patience to get the right day.
Water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 60°F. Nice little bonus.
First decent window is Wednesday morning, July 8th. Swell hits 10ft from the SW, with a very long 18-second period. Combined energy is 5756. Wind’s from the NNE at 6 mph, cross-on, so a bit roughed up. But Wednesday afternoon cleans up—wind drops to 3 mph from the east, glassy. Same 10ft swell, 17-second period. That’s the standout for the near term. Clean, powerful, glassy.
Thursday the 9th backs off to 7ft, then 6ft, SW, 15-second period, but wind goes cross-on from the north and northeast. Not terrible, just average.
Friday the 10th stays meh. 7ft to 7ft, cross-chop from the north at 12 mph.
Saturday the 11th morning is a mess—28 mph cross-wind. Afternoon jumps to 13ft WSW, but short-period (10 seconds) and 28 mph cross-off wind. Clean but howling—more for kites.
Sunday the 12th pumps 16ft SW, massive energy (8752), but west winds at 25-28 mph. Big and clean, but experts only.
Monday the 13th is the next real standout. Morning 15ft, afternoon 16ft SW, 15-second period, energy 9872. Afternoon wind goes offshore from the west at 19 mph. Fresh offshore and clean. That’s the one.
Tuesday the 14th keeps 16ft, periods 15-16 seconds. Offshore in the arvo, but strong wind at 25 mph makes it hard to paddle into—big, clean, but challenging.
Wednesday the 15th still has 15ft in the morning, period 14 seconds, energy 16034. Wind south at 19 mph, cross-off. Big.
After that, it eases. Thursday the 16th drops to 7ft, then 6ft, glassy in the afternoon. Friday the 17th brings a pulse back: 10ft, then 12ft SW, with the afternoon going glassy. That’s a solid sleeper.
From Saturday the 18th, it tapers to 8ft, 6ft, then smaller. The 23rd sees a final spike to 15ft SSW, shorter period (11 seconds), with a south cross-off.
Best bets: Wednesday 8th afternoon for glassy 10ft, and Monday 13th afternoon for offshore 16ft. Friday 17th afternoon is a clean sleeper at 12ft. Rest of the time, wind or size is the story.
Stay safe out there.

The above surf forecast table for Blacknose Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Blacknose Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Blacknose 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.
