The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming for Desert Point over the next couple of weeks.
The pattern is a solid run of swell from the NW-to-NNW direction, which is exactly what Desert Point needs. Water temp is 72°F, right around average for this time of year—nothing unusual.
Sunday the 23rd is a total loss with cross-on wind and poor conditions. Don’t even think about it. But Monday morning the 24th is where it gets good: glassy conditions, a clean 6ft swell from the NNW with a 12-second period—true groundswell—and moderate energy. That’s a standout for the near term. The point will be lining up nicely. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Monday afternoon the wind swings onshore and the rest of the 24th is dead. Tuesday the 25th is marginal with cross-on wind and a drop to 5ft with a short 9-second period. Wednesday the 26th morning is glassy but only 4ft and weak energy. Thursday the 27th is poor, but Friday morning the 28th offers another clean session: glassy, 6ft swell, 8-second period, moderate energy. Good, but not epic.
Looking ahead, Saturday the 29th morning brings a 7ft swell with a 12-second period and strong energy, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s a gamble. Sunday the 30th morning is glassy with 6ft and moderate energy—nice for a clean session.
The real gems are Tuesday the 1st of September morning and Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. Both are dead calm with 7ft and 8ft swells from the NNW, 9-second periods, and strong energy. That’s expert-level size with perfect wind. Desert Point will be unreal. After that, the wind turns onshore from Thursday the 3rd onward, and the surf gets messy.
Monday the 7th of September morning has a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW with a very long 15-second period—rare and clean but small.
The best calls: Monday the 24th of August morning, and Tuesday and Wednesday mornings the 1st and 2nd of September. Lock those in.
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.
