The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s run through Blacknose Point — a point break that suits advanced surfers. Water temp is 58°F right now, nothing unusual for the season.
Surf kicks off Saturday the 29th of August with a 8ft to 10ft SSW to SW groundswell, period 13 to 14 seconds. That’s long-period energy, and with offshore wind both Saturday morning and Sunday morning, expect clean, lined-up waves. Combined energy sits moderate to strong (2222 to 2752). Solid start.
Monday the 31st of August is the early highlight. 10ft of SW groundswell at 14 seconds, light cross-offshore wind, clean conditions. Combined energy hits 4112 — strong. This is prime for experienced surfers. Just know this spot can be crowded often.
Tuesday the 1st of September through Friday sees strong cross-winds, lumpy surf, and swell climbing to 13ft by Thursday — too big for most. Not the time to paddle out unless you’re a pro and want a beating.
Then Saturday the 5th of September brings a huge 15ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds with strong offshore wind. Combined energy is a massive 10534. Monday the 7th is even bigger at 23ft from the WSW, also 16 seconds, with energy at 43246 — that’s ocean power. The wind is offshore but the size makes it impossible for almost anyone to paddle. That’s kite-surfing territory.
Second week mellows. Wednesday the 9th of September morning has 10ft SW swell, moderate offshore wind, combined energy 4414 — a solid manageable day for experts. Thursday the 10th brings 18ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, cross-shore in the morning, cleaner by afternoon with cross-off breeze and energy at 14611. Saturday the 12th afternoon has 10ft from the SSW at 16 seconds with gentle cross-off wind and clean waves — energy 6771. A nice finish.
Best bet: Monday 31st August — clean, strong, offshore, and the point will love it. Wednesday 9th September is another good call later in the window.
Keep your wits about you.

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.
