Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Desert Point.
Honestly, mate, I’ll level with you – the first week and a half look pretty ordinary. There’s a lot of onshore wind and small, weak swell. We’re looking at a long stretch of days where the conditions just aren’t playing ball. From Thursday the 9th of July right through to the morning of Tuesday the 14th, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is constantly on it or cross-on, making for bumpy, poor surf. You’d be wasting your time.
There’s a little flicker of hope on the morning of Wednesday the 15th of July. The wind goes glassy, and we get a small 4ft groundswell from the NNW, but it’s a short period swell of 6 seconds, so it’s not really got any punch. The wave energy is weak (108). It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary.
The real standout window starts to appear on Friday the 17th of July. The morning is looking good. The wind is glassy, and we’ve got a cleaner 5ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (313). That’s the first decent option we’ve had. The water temp is 70°, which is about normal for the time of year. This is a consistent point break, so it’ll handle the swell well, but remember, these NW swells can be a bit straight at a beach break, though Desert Point being a point, it should be fine. Keep in mind, this spot is consistent, so there’ll be waves.
Then, Sunday the 19th of July morning is another standout. Again, glassy conditions with a 5ft NNW swell (353 energy). It’s the same story – clean, manageable, and the best of the bunch.
Further out, the swell builds a bit. By Friday the 24th of July morning, we’re looking at a 7ft swell from the NNW (651 energy). That’s a solid, moderate wave energy, but the wind is cross-on, making it a bit messy. It’s a marginal call.
If I had to pick the true best on offer, it’s the mornings of Friday the 17th and Sunday the 19th of July. Glassy offshore wind, a clean 5ft groundswell. That’s as good as it gets in this stretch.

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.
