Blacknose Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's break it down for Blacknose Point, a proper point break that's gonna pump over the next couple weeks. Water temp's sittin' around 58.1°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a bit more pleasant than normal.

There's a bit of a wait, but it's gonna be worth it. The first real session kicks off Sunday, September 6th in the afternoon. Cloudy skies, but we got a clean 10 ft SW groundswell with a 13-second period. The combined swell energy is a solid 3412, and with a gentle offshore breeze from the WSW at 9 mph, conditions are glassy and lined up for experienced surfers. This is a standout window for those who can handle it.

Monday the 7th sees the swell drop to 5 ft from the WSW in the morning, but the wind swings S at 16 mph, makin' it a cross-off breeze. Still clean, but energy's down to 1354. The afternoon picks up a bit to 7 ft from the SW at a shorter 9 seconds, so it's a bit lumpy but rideable.

Tuesday the 8th is where things start to build. Morning brings a clean 6.2 ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period – proper juice. Winds are light W at 6 mph, cross-off, and energy's 3470. The afternoon is the real standout for the early week: 10 ft SW swell at 16 seconds, combined energy of 4662, and moderate offshore wind from the W at 16 mph. That's big, clean, and powerful – expert territory.

Wednesday the 9th gets serious. We're talkin' 16.4 ft to 18 ft SSW swells with periods around 18-19 seconds. Energy is massive – over 19,000 in the morning. The wind is cross-off from the SSW at 16-19 mph, so it's clean, but this is for absolute experts only. That kind of size at a point will be a sight to behold, but only the brave will be out.

Thursday the 10th keeps the heavy stuff goin' – 16.4 ft in the morning, easing to 14.8 ft in the afternoon. The afternoon session has moderate offshore wind from the SW at 12 mph, makin' it clean. Energy is still huge at 8956. Another day for the big-wave crew.

Friday the 11th offers a slight reprieve with 10 ft in the morning from the SSW, light S wind at 6 mph, and energy at 4025. Clean. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-on SE breeze, but the swell is 11.5 ft with a long 15-second period – still plenty of power.

Saturday the 12th is a bit of a mixed bag. Swell drops to 10 ft in the morning with cross-shore winds, and energy at 3365. The afternoon is smaller at 7.5 ft but with lighter wind. It's not the cleanest, but there'll be waves.

From Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th, the swell drops off and winds get stronger. Sunday has 5.2-5.9 ft SW groundswell, but cross-shore and cross-off winds make it less appealing. Monday the 14th has a brief morning of 4.3 ft with a fresh offshore, but energy is only 716. The afternoon bumps back to 10 ft but with a short 8-second period and 22 mph offshore wind – clean but short and dumpy.

Tuesday the 15th is another good day. Morning has 10 ft SW at 12 seconds, light offshore wind at 6 mph, and energy at 2615. The afternoon is the pick: 11.5 ft SW swell at a long 15 seconds, moderate offshore at 12 mph, and energy of 6139. Clean, powerful, and lined up – a proper session.

Wednesday the 16th continues the run with 10 ft SW all day, periods around 13 seconds, and gentle to moderate offshore wind. Energy builds from 3550 to 6564 by the afternoon. Another solid day for experienced surfers.

Thursday the 17th gets huge again – 16.4 ft in the morning with a 17-second period, but cross-shore winds from the NNW at 19 mph make it lumpy and dangerous. The afternoon is a write-off with 25 mph cross-shore winds and light rain. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Friday the 18th cleans up with 14.8 ft SSW in the morning, moderate offshore at 16 mph, and energy of 8864. The afternoon drops to 11.5 ft with cross-off wind – still clean but less energy.

Saturday the 19th is a windy one. Morning has 13.1 ft SW with a near gale offshore at 31 mph – hard to paddle into even if it's clean. After
