The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, Blacknose Point is the only spot on the radar. It’s a point break that loves a SW swell, and the water is sitting at 58°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The fun starts Sunday afternoon, the 23rd. We’ve got a clean 8ft SW swell, with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is strong at 3625. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 8ft, it’s getting big. The period is 13 seconds, a solid groundswell giving you power.
Monday the 24th is a bit scrappy with cross-shore winds, so sit it out. Tuesday the 25th is back on with a clean 8ft SW swell in the morning and a light breeze. The energy is pumping at 2551.
Wednesday the 26th is a gem. Glassy offshore winds in the morning on a clean 8ft SW swell. Energy is still strong at 2306. The afternoon keeps that offshore flow, clean and smooth. This is a top pick.
We get a smaller 5ft swell on Thursday the 27th, but the afternoon cleans up nicely. Friday the 28th brings a big 10ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period in the morning. The energy is massive at 5178. The wind is light and cross-shore, so a little bumpy, but the afternoon is a standout: 8ft SW swell, 16-second period, and glassy offshore winds at 3 mph. That’s a winner for the advanced crew.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are both crackers. Offshore winds hold steady. Sunday the 30th is the absolute best of the lot: a 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, light offshore winds, and a combined energy of 5292. It’s clean, powerful, and all for the experienced. This spot gets crowded often, so get there early.
The start of September, from the 1st to the 3rd, sees the swell holding at 8ft to 10ft, but the winds get messier with moderate cross-shore breezes. Still surfable, but not as clean.
The second week gets wild. From the 4th, winds pick up to 25 mph to 30 mph. By the 5th, a near gale is blowing offshore at 31 mph. The swell hits 15ft with a 15-second period, and the energy is insane at 8296. This is big-wave stuff, only for experts, and paddling in will be a nightmare. The 6th and 7th are stormy and poor. The last days show a 37 mph near gale and a dying swell, so forget it.
The standout run is from the 28th of August through the 30th. That’s where the best quality, most powerful, and cleanest waves are. If you’ve got one day, Sunday the 30th is it.
Rusty.

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.
