Blacknose Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let's have a look at this. We've got Blacknose Point on the radar for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so first up, this spot is a point break, which is a good start. It's a spot for the experienced crew for sure. For most of this run, the water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing too wild there.

Things kick off this Saturday, the 29th of August, with a solid SW groundswell, a period of 14 seconds. We're looking at 8 ft waves and the outlook is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers". The combined wave energy is sitting at 2222 (moderate). What makes this a real standout is the clean, glassy conditions – a light offshore breeze all morning. The wind is set to stay offshore, keeping those lines clean through the afternoon. This is the pick of the early days, no question. Clean, punchy, and for those in the know.

Sunday, the 30th, is much the same story. Another day of 8 ft SW swell at 13 seconds with light, offshore winds. The energy is up a touch to 2479. It's another top-notch day for the experienced surfer.

Monday the 31st is where it gets interesting. The morning has 10 ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and a tiny offshore breeze. The energy jumps to 4068 (strong). The morning will be absolutely firing. The afternoon, the wind swings onshore, so the morning is definitely the session to get.

Tuesday, the 1st of September, sees the wind turning nasty, a fresh breeze creating lumpy chop. The swell is still there, but the conditions are a write-off. The combined energy is 2764 but the score is flat. A day to stay on the beach. Wednesday and Thursday, the 2nd and 3rd, the wind returns to a cross-offshore, but it's fresh to strong. The swell gets bigger, hitting 15 ft on Thursday afternoon with a massive energy reading of 13194 (very strong). That's a lot of water moving, but with that strong breeze, it's going to be a wild, powerful mess. It's only for the absolute experts, and even then, maybe more for a tow-in crew or kiters.

Friday the 4th of September has a similar vibe. Swell is 15 ft with strong cross-offshore wind. Energy is still huge at 9818. It's powerful and big, but not clean.

We then go through a bit of a rough patch. Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th, the wind gets gnarly with lumpy cross-chop, so the quality drops. After that, conditions improve a bit, but the magic of that first weekend is gone.

Now, look ahead to the second week. The standout is clearly Thursday, the 10th of September. The morning brings a clean 8 ft SW swell, but the period is a very long 17 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reads 4300 (strong). The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it will be a little textured, but not blown out. The energy and period will make for some exceptionally long, racy lines at this point break. It’s a promising one, but we're talking a week and a half out, so it’s one to keep an eye on.

Then Saturday the 12th of September looks like a good shout to finish the run. The morning has 10 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but the afternoon is the real winner with a gentle offshore breeze and the same big swell. Energy is 4642 (strong). That afternoon session should be clean, powerful, and relatively fun for the experienced crew.

So, the overall picture: get pumped for this Saturday and Sunday. That's your best, most reliable window. Monday morning is a bonus. After that, it’s either too big and wild, or the wind spoils the party. The week of the 10th to the 12th looks promising again, but treat it as a promising lead. No real beginner waves in this whole run – it’s all for the crew who can handle some grunt.

Rusty.
