The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming at Blacknose Point. There’s no surf right now, but starting Thursday morning we get a long string of swells that’ll run for over two weeks. The water’s running about 58.5°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Thursday morning (3rd September) we’ve got a big 16.4ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period—groundswell, and over 8ft, so experts only. The wind is a fresh offshore from the WSW at 35 mph, keeping things clean. The energy is pumping at 8780. Thursday afternoon the wind swings to W at 30 mph, still offshore, with the swell holding at 16.4ft and energy up to 9983.
Friday morning (4th September) the swell drops to 14.8ft from the SW, with a very long 16-second period. Wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the NW at 20 mph, clean. Energy is huge at 10536. Friday afternoon the wind goes cross-shore from the NNW at 15 mph, a bit of chop, but the swell stays at 14.8ft.
Saturday morning (5th September) the swell is 9.8ft from the SW with a 15-second period, but the wind is strong cross-offshore from the WNW at 45 mph—clean but hard to paddle into. Energy 5648. Saturday afternoon the wind hits 45 mph from the W, offshore, swell jumps to 14.8ft from the WSW with a shorter 10-second period. Messy.
Sunday morning (6th September) is a solid call. The swell is 11.5ft from the SW, 13-second period, with a gentle offshore wind from the WSW at 15 mph. Glassy conditions. Energy 4124. Sunday afternoon the wind is light cross-offshore from the W at 15 mph, swell 9.8ft.
Monday (7th September) the swell holds at 9.8ft from the SW, but the period drops to 8 seconds. Wind is fresh cross-offshore from the S at 35 mph. Marginal.

Wednesday (9th September) has 11.5ft swell from the SW, 16-second period, but cross-shore wind from the SSE at 15 mph brings chop. Energy 8585. Wednesday afternoon the swell pushes to 13.1ft, same period, chop remains.
Thursday morning (10th September) the swell is 14.8ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, but the wind is a light onshore from the ENE at 10 mph. Lumpy. Energy 11138. Thursday afternoon the wind goes cross-onshore from the ESE at 15 mph, swell 13.1ft, messy.
Friday (11th September) the swell drops to 8.2ft from the SSW, 15-second period, wind light cross-onshore from the NNE at 10 mph. Small and weak.

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.
