The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s be real – the first few days at Blacknose Point aren’t lighting any fires. Monday and Tuesday are looking average, with a cross-shore breeze and a 7ft to 8ft swell that’s all over the place. The water temp is 58°F, right on the money for this time of year. The energy’s pumping out big numbers – 1909 on Monday morning – but it’s choppy and messy. You’ll want to wait.

Wednesday the 26th is where it picks up. The morning serves up a clean 8ft southwest swell, a gentle offshore wind, and a 13-second period. Energy’s at 2419, and it’s glassy for experienced surfers – nice lines, no bumps. The afternoon holds with a wsw offshore. This is your first proper window.

Thursday the 27th afternoon is a sleeper – smaller at 5ft, but the wind goes light offshore from the west, and it’s clean. Energy drops to 1426, but for a late session, it’s worth a look.

But the highlight? No contest – Friday the 28th. The morning brings a solid 10ft groundswell from the southwest with a long 17-second period, and the energy is roaring at 5106. The wind is light and cross-off, so the sets are clean and powerful. Then the afternoon goes glassy – dead calm, with a 10ft swell and 16-second period, energy at 4023. This is heavy, expert-level surf. The long period means it’ll reel off nicely at a point break, with longer gaps between the big ones. Not for beginners, but for the crew who know, this is the best of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 29th morning is glassy again with a 7ft swell, clean and fun, but the wind shifts onshore later. Sunday the 30th morning is also glassy with a 4ft swell, but it’s a very long 17-second period – that groundswell will feel more like a pulse.

Looking ahead, Monday the 31st has a big 12ft swell with a 19-second period – the energy is massive at 8696, but it’s a cross-shore wind in the morning. The afternoon turns offshore and clean, but that’s a serious size. Only for the brave.

The first week of September is a mix of moderate swells and strong winds. Tuesday the 1st has a fresh breeze, but the swell holds around 8ft. Wednesday the 2nd is blown out onshore. Thursday the 3rd afternoon has an 12ft west swell with a clean offshore, but the period is short at 11 seconds – won’t have the same grunt. Friday the 4th afternoon is clean with a 8ft south-southwest swell. Decent, but not a standout.

The second week gets wild. Saturday the 5th is messy with cross-shore winds. Sunday the 6th sees a 13ft swell with rain and onshore wind – not great. Monday the 7th is a beast: 21ft to 25ft swells with near gale-force offshore winds – the energy is insane at 14112, but you’d need a tow-in. Tuesday the 8th is still huge, 20ft to 18ft, with strong offshore winds. Clean, but expert-only.

So here’s the call – your best bet is Friday the 28th, morning and afternoon. That’s the one to mark. Wednesday the 26th morning is a solid second pick. The rest is either choppy, too big, or just not lining up. Get after it when it’s glassy.

Rusty.

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.
