The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The first solid surf to talk about isn't until Friday the 21st of August, so there's a bit of a flat spell right now. Don't stress, it won't last long.
Alright, let's talk about the main event. The standout for the whole forecast is Blacknose Point. This is a point break, so it handles swell well. Friday the 22nd of August... that's the one. We've got a solid 15ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period, and the wind is WSW offshore at 16 mph. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is normal for this time of year. The combined energy is massive at 7644 (moderate to strong). This is big, powerful, and clean. Only for the experts though – anything over 8ft is serious business. This is heavy, long-period groundswell, so it'll be lining up beautifully on the point, but it's a proper mission. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.
Saturday the 22nd afternoon holds at 13ft SW, still with offshore wind, and Sunday the 23rd morning drops to 10ft SW but with a cross-shore wind, so not as clean. By Sunday afternoon, the wind backs off to light offshore, and the swell is 8ft SW – that's a much more manageable size for experienced surfers.
Moving into the next week, the 26th of August looks nice. Wednesday morning has 8ft SW with offshore wind, and the water is clean. That's a solid, fun day for experienced surfers. The 28th of August sees the swell jump back to 10ft, but the wind is from the NW, which is cross-offshore, so it'll be clean but the period is a very long 17 seconds. That's some serious energy (5372), but it could be a bit tricky at a beach break. On the point, it should be a ripper, but again, big and powerful.
The far end of the forecast, Saturday the 5th of September, has another big pulse. 13ft SW at 17 seconds, offshore wind, and the energy is through the roof at 8633. That's another day for the experts only. The forecast is a bit less certain that far out, but it's a promising one.
All in all, the best bet is the 22nd of August for the big, clean groundswell, but keep an eye on the 26th for a slightly more forgiving session. There's plenty of swell on the way, so don't sleep on it.

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.
