Blacknose Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya with the outlook for Blacknose Point. We've got a mixed bag on the way, but there are a few moments that'll get the blood pumpin'.

Right now, the surf is up, but it's a bit of a messy situation. Saturday the 4th sees a solid 12ft SW groundswell, with a combined wave energy of 3903. It's powerful, but that cross-offshore breeze is making it tricky. The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real trouble starts Sunday the 5th. That swell jacks up to 16ft from the SSW, pumping out a massive 12507 combined energy, but the wind is a dirty cross-onshore. By the afternoon, it gets even worse with a 16 mph breeze chopping it all up. The period is a very long 17 seconds, which should make the lines at this point break excellent, but the wind's gonna kill it. It'll be more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.

Now, Tuesday the 7th is where things get interesting. The swell drops a bit to about 7ft from the SW, but the wind goes glassy. Absolutely zero wind. The water will be like a mirror. The combined energy is a solid 1973 and the period is a long 16 seconds. This is for the experienced crew only – anything over 5ft and this spot gets serious. For a few hours there, it's gonna be perfect.

The rest of the first week stays marginal with onshore winds most days, but keep an eye on Wednesday the 8th afternoon. The swell holds at 10ft from the SW, and it's glassy again. Good shape, long period, but it's a big boy wave.

Then there's a proper lull. From Thursday the 9th right through to the following Sunday the 12th, the conditions are poor. The wind stays messy, the swell drops, and the quality is just not there.

But hold onto your board, because the second week has a standout. Monday the 13th of July is the big one. The forecast is callin' for a huge 25ft SW swell (combined energy of 21996). The wind is a fresh offshore, which will groom those faces like glass. This is strictly for experts only, no question. It's a long-range call so things can change, but if it comes together, it will be the biggest, cleanest swell of the period.

Tuesday the 14th is another excellent day for the big-wave crew, with 13ft SW swell and a moderate offshore wind, keepin' it clean. The rest of that week settles down with solid 10ft swell and light winds, offering some decent, clean but heavy waves for the experienced.

Overall, the best moments are the glassy windows on the 7th and the 8th, but the real prize is that massive offshore groundswell on the 13th. If you're a charger, that's your day. Crowds are often an issue here, so get there early.

Rusty.
