The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Blacknose Point.
The water’s sitting about 58°F, which is normal for this time of year, so nothing to write home about.
First decent surf shows up Saturday afternoon, 29 August. Swell is 7ft from the SW, with a 13-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. Wave energy is solid (1720), and it’s excellent for experienced surfers.
Sunday, 30 August is a cracker. Morning has 8ft SW at 13 seconds, with a light offshore at 6 mph – clean. Afternoon bumps to 10ft, still offshore at 9 mph. Energy is climbing (2752). This is top-notch for advanced crew.
Monday, 31 August morning is the standout for me. We’ve got 10ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 3 mph. Energy is pumping (4295). This is the pick of the first wave – clean, solid, and long period groundswell. Just note, the afternoon turns cross-onshore, so morning is the go.
Tuesday, 1 September morning is a write-off with strong cross-shore wind. The afternoon is cleaner but smaller.
Wednesday, 2 September gets big. Morning has 12ft SW at 16 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph. Energy is huge (6095). Afternoon is 13ft, still clean but serious. Expert only.
Thursday, 3 September morning is the absolute standout. Swell is 15ft from the WSW, 14 seconds, with a fresh offshore wind at 19 mph. Energy is massive (15470). Exceptional for experts. The afternoon remains excellent with 13ft. This is the day to circle.
The rest of the first week remains solid but too big. By Monday, 7 September, swell is 21ft to 26ft – way too big for this break. Tuesday, 8 September has 28ft and 17-second periods. Better for kitesurfing.
Second week sees a drop in size. Wednesday, 9 September is a good option – 18ft SSW at 15 seconds in the morning, clean cross-offshore. Energy still strong (13484). Thursday, 10 September has a long period 24-second swell at 4ft, but cross-shore wind makes it messy.
Friday, 11 September and Saturday, 12 September have onshore and cross-onshore winds, so quality drops. Swell is still 13ft to 15ft but choppy.
So, the standout is Thursday, 3 September morning for the big, clean, offshore groundswell – dream for experts. Monday, 31 August morning is another top pick for a slightly smaller but perfect session. The rest is either too big, too windy, or too messy.
Rusty.

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.
