The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Chapmans Point.
Water temp is right around average for this time of year.
Saturday, July 25th kicks it off: clean morning with 1.4m SSW swell at 12 seconds, light offshore NW wind. Energy's moderate (612). Afternoon picks up to 1.5m SSW, still offshore, clean. Nice start.
Sunday, July 26th is a washout. Morning’s choppy with strong WNW wind and 1.0m swell. Afternoon gets wild: 3.5m SW swell and a near gale cross-shore. Big numbers (3229) but a total mess. Monday and Tuesday stay big—around 3.0m SSW—but onshore or light onshore winds ruin the surface. Kite crew might have a look.
Wednesday, July 29th morning is a solid call: 2.4m SSW groundswell at 13 seconds, clean offshore NNE wind. That’s some long-period juice (2747 energy) on a point. For experienced surfers only. Afternoon turns choppy, so get it early.
Thursday, July 30th is a gem. Morning: 1.6m SSW, 15 seconds, clean offshore. Afternoon turns glassy—dead calm, 1.7m SSW, 15 seconds. That’s smooth, clean, and well-shaped. Best of the first week.
Friday, July 31st afternoon: 2.5m SSW at 16 seconds, light NW wind, clean. Big lines (5136). Expert stuff.
Saturday, August 1st onshore and rainy. No good. Sunday, August 2nd drops to 1.6m but cross-shore chop. Not great.
Monday, August 3rd through Wednesday, August 5th is marginal: 1.4m to 2.0m SSW, but winds are fresh or cross-shore. Not worth the effort.
Thursday, August 6th morning: 1.7m SSW, 16 seconds, clean cross-off. Could be a quick session if you’re keen.
Friday, August 7th and Saturday, August 8th are blown out with onshore gales. Nothing doing.
Sunday, August 9th is the grand finale: morning hits with 4.0m SSW, 17-second period groundswell—huge energy (7913). Light cross-off, clean and powerful. Experts only. Afternoon glass-off: 3.5m SSW, 16 seconds, glassy. A proper big-wave day.
Top picks: Thursday July 30th afternoon for clean, glassy fun, and Sunday August 9th morning for serious size and power.
Crowds can show up since the spot’s consistent, but on these standout days, it’s worth a few mates in the lineup.
Rusty.

Information about the Chapmans Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chapmans Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chapmans Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chapmans 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 (Chapmans 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 Chapmans 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.
