The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks of surf. I’m looking at the forecast for Desert Point, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some promising windows, but a whole lot of waiting in between.
The first real shot of decent surf we get is on Thursday morning, July 30th. The wind is glassy, coming from the WSW at just 3 mph, and the water is sitting at a pretty normal 69° for this time of year. The swell is coming from the NNW at 5 ft with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, clocking in at 303. It’s not a monster, but that glassy wind will make it look clean. After that, things get ordinary. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the first week of August, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the waves are messy, and the quality drops right off. There’s a long stretch there with nothing worth paddling out for.
Then, we get a bit of a tease on Monday morning, August 10th. The swell is building to 6 ft from the NNW, still with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is up to 373 (moderate). But the wind is a cross-onshore, so it’s only marginal. Hold out for the next morning.
The standout in this whole forecast is Tuesday morning, August 11th. This is the one. The wind goes glassy again, WSW at 3 mph, and the swell is a solid 6 ft from the NNW. The combined energy jumps to 403 (moderate to strong). The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a crumbly wave rather than a long-period groundswell, but that clean, glassy surface is going to make it look like a dream. This is the best on offer, and the water is still about average for the time of year. After that morning, the wind turns onshore again, and the next few days are a write-off right through to the end of the forecast, with the swell getting bigger but the wind ruining it. The swell peaks on the 12th and 13th at 7 ft, but with onshore and cross-onshore winds, it’s going to be a choppy mess. For a point break like Desert Point, this is a kite surfer’s setup, not a paddle surfer’s. Keep your eyes on that Tuesday morning window.
Rusty.

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