The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on what’s shaping up at Blacknose Point for the next couple of weeks. Grab your wettie, 'cause it’s gonna be a ride.

We’ve got a solid run of surf starting right away on Wednesday, September 2nd, with some proper groundswell rolling in. It’s not perfect to start, but it builds quickly. The real standout window is Thursday, September 3rd, with a massive pulse of SW swell. That afternoon session is the one to circle – we’re talking a solid 20 ft of SW swell with a 14-second period and a fresh offshore wind out of the west. The combined energy is a whopping 23811, and those conditions are wind and tide favorable. This is big, powerful stuff – over 8 ft, so it’s expert territory only. The water temp is 58°, which is a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not freezing but you’ll still want a good steamer.

Blacknose Point is a point break, and with that long-period groundswell, it’s going to line up beautifully here. That 16-second swell on Friday morning will be a dream for the more experienced crew – clean, powerful lines. The crowds are often here, so be ready to share the take-off zone.

Now, for the rest of the run. Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th keep the swell going, but the wind gets a bit messy Friday with that cross-shore chop. Saturday the 5th is a write-off with a 28 mph breeze and risk of t-storms. But Sunday the 6th we get a reprieve – light winds and clean 12 ft waves with a 13-second period. That’s a great session for experienced surfers.

After that, the swell backs off a touch early the next week, but it stays surfable. Monday the 7th is smaller at 6 ft but clean. Then Tuesday the 8th sees another pulse of SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period come Tuesday morning, and a moderate offshore wind in the afternoon. That’s a quality window for this spot.

We get another big spike on Wednesday, September 9th afternoon – 16 ft of SSW swell with a 17-second period, cross-shore wind, and another very high energy reading of 20764. Again, that’s massive, so don’t even think about it unless you’re a pro.

The following days, from the 10th to the 14th, see the swell gradually dropping but staying consistent. The 13th and 14th of September offer clean, glassy conditions with offshore or light winds and chest-to-head-high swell. Beautiful.

Then the long-range window around September 17th looks promising but less certain. Thursday the 17th morning shows a huge 23 ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, but the wind is onshore, making it choppy. The combined energy hits 51997 – absolutely pumping. But with that onshore wind, it’ll be a battle. The afternoon improves with a cross-shore wind and a drop to 20 ft. It’s a serious swell, but the quality might be a bit of a mess. Keep an eye on it.

There are a few days in there, like the 10th and 11th, where the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore and the forecast is poor. The 11th is completely blown out. But overall, this spot has a lot of consistency. The two standouts are Thursday September 3rd afternoon and Sunday September 6th morning.

Stay frothy.

Rusty.

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. 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.
