The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Desert Point.
We’ve got a bit of a slow starter on our hands. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with a lot of cross-on and onshore wind messing things up. The swell is there, but it’s not pretty. The real standout, and the only window I’d get excited about, is Thursday, September 3rd. That morning we’ve got a 4ft NW groundswell, period around 8 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. The wave energy is moderate (212), but with that clean surface, it’s going to be the best you’ll see. After that, it’s a long stretch of mediocrity.
The swell drops off into Friday the 4th, with a tiny 3ft and glassy conditions again, but it’s just too small to get the heart pumping. Saturday the 5th has a bit more size at 4ft, but the period is short and the wind is on it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
The second week is a write-off. From the 7th of September onwards, the combined energy jumps around but the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore. There’s a glimmer on Monday the 14th with a 5ft swell, but it’s messy and the wind is wrong. By Thursday the 17th, we finally get a glassy morning with 4ft, but it’s so far out it’s hard to rely on. The whole second half is a gamble.
Desert Point is a consistent point break, and it’s fairly exposed to the NW swell, which is what we’re getting. It’s an intermediate-friendly wave, but when it’s over 5ft, it starts to get a bit heavy for the beginners. Crowds are possible here, especially on the cleaner days. The best call is Thursday the 3rd morning – that’s your one.
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.
