Blacknose Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and listen close. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what Blacknose Point has in store for us. It’s a sweet right-hand point, fairly consistent, and picks up swell from the SSW like a charm. Water temp is sittin’ at about 60°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – not a bad thing, trust me.

Right off the bat, we’ve got some surf comin’ through on Monday the 6th, but it’s a bit of a tease. Swell’s around 7 ft from the SSW, period a solid 14 seconds, but that light cross-on breeze from the east has it lookin’ messy. The energy’s gettin’ there, but conditions just aren’t dialed in yet.

Tuesday morning the 7th gets a bit better, with a clean 6 ft SW swell and a 16-second period, with a light onshore wind. It’s still not prime, but the bones are good.

Now, here’s where it gets real. Wednesday the 8th sees a jump – we're talkin’ 10 ft SW swell with a long, dreamy 18-second period. The energy jumps up. The morning has a touch of cross-on wind, but Wednesday afternoon? Glassy, with a slight onshore breeze. For experienced surfers, this is where you want to be. The swell direction is perfect for the point.

The size and quality hold over Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th, with swells around 7 ft from the SW, but the wind gets a bit lumpy with a moderate breeze. It’s still surfable, but not the stand-out.

Then, Saturday the 11th brings a shift. Fresh breeze out of the NW, but the swell drops to 6 ft. It gets cleaner but smaller. The energy is weak.

Sunday the 12th – hold onto your board. We’re lookin’ at a wild, powerful system. The swell jumps to a beastly 18 ft on Sunday afternoon from the WSW, with a 12-second period, but the wind is a near-gale, and the conditions are marked as poor. This isn’t paddle-surfing territory. For the brave, it might be a kite or tow-only show. The energy’s strong.

But the real gem is comin’ on Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th. Monday brings a massive, groundswell from the SW at 21 ft with a 16-second period, and the wind goes fresh offshore from the WSW. The energy is massive. This is exceptional for experts only, and the point should handle that deep-water energy beautifully. The crowds here are often around, so expect company.

Tuesday the 14th stays clean with moderate offshore wind, and the swell eases to a still-hefty 13 ft from the SW with another 16-second period. The energy’s still strong.

The first week is a building storm of quality, with the 13th and 14th being the absolute stand-outs for those who can handle it.

Into the second week, things settle down but remain good. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th see clean conditions with a 10 ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and light winds. Thursday afternoon even goes glassy – that is a treat. The energy remains moderate. This is a more accessible, fun size for a lot of surfers.

Friday the 17th gets lumpy and smaller, with a moderate cross-shore breeze. The energy drops off.

The weekend of the 18th and 19th gets messy again with strong winds and a lumpy cross-chop. The swell’s there (10 ft from the WSW), but the wind just ruins it for paddle-in fun.

Monday the 20th sees a drop in size and a fresh cross-off wind, but the energy is still moderate. It’s on the edge of being okay.

Finally, Tuesday the 21st finishes the run with a clean 7 ft SW swell and a gentle breeze. The energy is moderate. A nice, mellow end to a wild two-week window.

The best of the whole run is hands down Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th for the big-swell crew, with Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 16th being excellent, more moderate options. Keep your eyes on the long-range – it’s a promising one, but a week and a half out, things can always change.

Rusty, signing off.
