The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Blacknose Point. This is a point break that handles a south-west swell really well, and we’ve got a solid run of surf heading our way, though it’s not all plain sailing.
The first proper swell kicks in on Monday, July 27th, but it’s a bit of a messy start. We’re looking at 7.2ft SW swell with a 13-second period, but that cross-shore wind from the NNW is going to put a chop on it. The combined energy is sitting at 1543 (moderate), but the conditions are marginal. It’s not a day to get excited about.
Tuesday, July 28th, the swell builds. Morning sees 7.9ft SW swell at 16 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind from the WNW at 22 mph. The energy jumps to 5355 (strong). The afternoon gets bigger: 9.8ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, and a strong cross-off from the west at 28 mph. This is getting into expert territory, and the wind is strong, but it’s clean. Not a day for beginners.
Now, Wednesday, July 29th, is the standout. The morning brings a thumping 18.0ft SW swell with a 16-second period – that’s very long period groundswell. Energy is 14554 (very strong). The wind is a fresh cross-off from the SW at 19 mph. This is massive, powerful, and only for the most experienced. Then the afternoon magic: 14.8ft SW swell, 14 seconds, with a clean 16 mph offshore wind from the SW. That’s the real deal. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The wave quality is exceptional for experts, and that offshore wind is going to make it glassy as glass.
Thursday, July 30th, stays good but drops. The morning has 8.2ft SW swell at 13 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. The energy is 2815 (moderate). The afternoon is a touch smaller at 7.5ft, but with a light offshore wind from the west at 6 mph. Clean, manageable, and a great day for experienced surfers.
Friday, July 31st, we’re easing down. 6.6ft SW swell at 12 seconds in the morning, with a light cross-off from the NW. The afternoon is 5.9ft SW, same period, with a light cross-off from the west. Both days are clean, but the energy is dropping to around 1261-1364 (moderate). Solid, but not the highlight.
The first weekend of August, Saturday the 1st, is a bit of a letdown. We’ve got 6.9ft to 8.2ft SW swell, but the period is long (16-18 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore from the north. The energy is strong (2677-4734), but the quality is marginal. The long period at this beach break might make it a bit too straight.
Sunday, August 2nd, the wind swings offshore. Morning has 7.5ft SW swell, 16 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the west at 12 mph. The afternoon is 9.8ft WSW swell, 15 seconds, but the wind is a fresh offshore from the WSW at 22 mph. That’s some serious wind. It’s clean, but you’ll be fighting to get out.
Monday, August 3rd, is another good one. 11.5ft SW swell, 14 seconds, with a light cross-off from the WNW in the morning, and a light offshore from the west in the afternoon. Energy is strong (5398-3905). Clean, powerful, and a great day for experienced surfers.
Tuesday, August 4th, is a glassy gem. The morning has 7.9ft SW swell at 13 seconds with glassy conditions and a light wind from the NNW. The afternoon is 7.5ft SW swell, same period, also glassy from the ESE. Energy is moderate (2405-2767). This is a beautiful day for a paddle.
Wednesday, August 5th, is interesting. The morning has 9.8ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, but a cross-on wind from the NNE. The afternoon is the same size

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.
