The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's brewing for the coming weeks. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but this isn’t for the faint of heart. The big stuff is coming, and it’s bringing some serious power.

The first real action kicks off on Tuesday the 25th. It’s a bit of a messy start with a 8ft SW swell and a cross breeze, but the energy is already cooking, with a combined swell energy of 2655 (moderate wave energy). We’re in the thick of the action by Wednesday the 26th. The morning brings a clean 8ft SW swell with a 13-second period and a nice cross-off breeze. This is where it starts to feel right. By the afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the WSW, grooming those 8ft SW lines perfectly. The water temp is sitting at 58°F, which is about average for this time of year.

Thursday the 27th sees the swell drop back a bit with a 5ft to 5ft WSW swell, and the energy dips to 946 (weak wave energy) in the morning. It’s a bit of a lull, but still rideable. Then, hold onto your boards, because Friday the 28th is a standout. We’re looking at a solid 10ft SW swell, and the period stretches out to 17 seconds in the morning. The energy jumps to 5221 (strong wave energy). This is serious groundswell. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. This is a day for experienced surfers only – anything over 8ft is expert territory.

Saturday the 29th is still pumping with a 7ft SW swell and offshore wind in the afternoon, keeping things clean and lined up. But the real showstopper, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Sunday the 30th. We’ve got an 12ft SSW swell in the morning with a period of 18 seconds, and the water is glassy. The energy reading is a massive 8313 (very strong wave energy). By the afternoon, it jumps to a 13ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and a light cross-off breeze, pushing the energy to 9837 (very strong wave energy). This is exceptional, powerful surf. It’s huge, it’s clean, and it’s for experts only.

Monday the 31st stays solid with a 10ft SW swell, but the wind is a bit messy in the morning. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, with a cross-off breeze. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd see the swell holding around 8ft to 8ft SW, but with moderate winds making things a bit more challenging. Thursday the 3rd is blown out with strong winds, despite the 10ft to 12ft swell. Not one for a paddle. Friday the 4th looks better with a light southerly and a clean 10ft SW swell in the afternoon.

Then, another massive pulse is forecast for Saturday the 5th. The morning is a bit messy, but the afternoon delivers a 15ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light wind, and a combined swell energy of 9736 (very strong wave energy). This is another expert-only session. Sunday the 6th keeps the size with a 13ft SW swell, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy is a staggering 11978 (very strong wave energy), but the quality won’t match the power.

The surf dials back into a more manageable range by Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th, with 5ft to 7ft SW swells and offshore winds. This will be far more user-friendly. The last window on Wednesday the 9th looks like a wild one with a 13ft to 12ft SW swell and strong southerly winds, making it a blustery and challenging session.

For the standout, it has to be Blacknose Point on Sunday the 30th. The combination of a massive 13ft SSW groundswell, a 17-second period, light wind, and that exceptional energy reading makes it the jewel in the crown. Sunday the 5th of September is a very close second, with that 15ft SW pulse. Both are strictly for experts. This is a heavy forecast, so know your limits.

Rusty.

Information about the Blacknose Point Surf forecast

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. Our Blacknose 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 (Blacknose 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 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.
