The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The first real surf we see is on Sunday the 13th, but it’s a total dud – not worth getting wet. There’s a blank gap at the start with no good options, so save your energy.
Monday the 14th has small, clean waves but nothing to write home about. The action really starts on Tuesday the 15th at Blacknose Point (point break, fairly exposed to SW). Morning brings a 13 ft SW swell with a 13-second period and fresh offshore SW winds. That’s clean and powerful, but it’s already pushing into expert territory with combined swell energy at 5266. The afternoon bumps up to 15 ft SW, still clean.
Wednesday the 16th holds 15 ft SW groundswell all day with a 15-second period and clean cross-off winds. Energy is very strong (8680 in the morning, 7838 in the afternoon). Experts only.
Thursday the 17th is the real standout. Morning has 10 ft SW swell with light offshore SW winds – glassy conditions. Water temp is about 58°, a touch warmer than normal. Combined energy is still strong at 3364. This is the pick of the week for advanced surfers.
Friday the 18th offers 7 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period in the morning, clean and lined up. The afternoon jumps to 10 ft SW, but the wind picks up.
Into the second week, Sunday the 20th has a 13 ft WSW swell with strong offshore SW winds (25 mph). It’s clean but hard to paddle into – only for the brave. Energy is strong at 2893.
Monday the 21st afternoon is another standout: 15 ft SW swell, 15-second period, light offshore WSW winds, and exceptional energy at 9287. Crowds are likely here.
Tuesday the 22nd is massive. Morning sees 20 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and energy at 22388. The swell may be too big for this break, so only the most experienced should consider it. Afternoon drops to 16 ft, still strong.
From Wednesday the 23rd, onshore winds and lumpy conditions kill the quality. A small window on Saturday the 26th afternoon offers clean cross-off winds with 15 ft SSW swell, and Sunday the 27th morning has 8 ft SW swell with light cross-off winds – excellent for experienced surfers.
The best bets are Thursday the 17th for clean, solid surf, and Monday the 21st afternoon for big, clean power.

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.
