Campus Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It’s a pretty quiet stretch overall, so we’ll need to pick our moments.

The overall pattern is one of small, weedy swell and mostly clean but weak conditions. Water temps are sitting at a very unusual 70°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

We start off with nothing much going on. The first time there's anything worth mentioning is Monday afternoon the 10th. Campus Point sees a small 2ft SSW swell, combined energy of 231 (moderate), and the wind goes cross-offshore. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. That sets the tone for most of the week – tiny 1ft to 2ft SSW swell, with the best conditions coming in the afternoons when the breeze shifts to cross-offshore.

The first real standout doesn’t arrive until Friday afternoon the 14th. Swell bumps up to 2ft from the SSW, with a nice long period of 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. Combined energy hits 368 (moderate). Wind is light and cross-offshore, so it should be clean. For a point break like Campus Point, that long period will really suit it, giving better shape and longer waits between sets. This is the best session of the run so far.

Saturday the 15th keeps the run going. Afternoon offers a similar 2ft SSW swell, 16-second period, combined energy of 290 (moderate), and glassy cross-offshore wind. Another clean, punchy little window for a patient surfer.

Sunday afternoon the 16th is also worth a look: 3ft SSW, 15-second period, combined energy of 290, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. Consistent enough for a fun session.

After that, the second week drops right off. From Monday the 17th through to Tuesday the 25th, it’s a long stretch of tiny swell (1.0ft to 2ft), low energy, and mostly poor-to-ordinary conditions. There’s a spike of 3ft to 4ft on Tuesday morning the 25th, but it’s short-period windswell (7-8 seconds) from the WNW, with poor surf conditions recorded. That one’s more of a messy wonky mess than a real option.

Overall, the clear best on offer is Friday afternoon (14th) and Saturday afternoon (15th) at Campus Point. Small but clean, long-period groundswell, light winds, and a point break that can turn that into something worth paddling out for. After that, blank runs stretch for days – pretty normal for this area in a lull like this.

Stay patient, score those windows when they show.

Rusty.
