The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Desert Point.
We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there’s a big lull to start. Nothing really worth getting excited about until the tail end of the first week. The first few days are all cross-onshore slop, small weak swell, and just ordinary, poor surf. That’s the story from Monday the 27th of July right through the end of the month. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday morning the 29th where it goes glassy, but the swell is tiny at 3ft, and the period is a short 6 seconds, so the energy is weak (96). You’d be out there for the vibe, not the waves.
The second week opens up a little better. Saturday the 1st of August morning is still a write-off, but that afternoon goes glassy again with a 3ft, 7-second swell. It’s surfable but ordinary. The real standout? You’ve got to wait. Tuesday the 4th of August is the highlight. That morning, the wind is dead calm, glassy as it gets. Swell comes in at 5ft from the NNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 280 (moderate). That’s the best wave quality of the whole forecast. The direction is a bit off the optimum for Desert Point (which wants NW), but the size and the clean conditions make it the pick of the bunch. After that, it gets a bit messy again with cross-onshore winds and building swell that’s mostly onshore.
Looking further out, around the 10th and 11th of August, the swell really pushes up to 6ft to 7.5ft, and the energy gets strong (up to 811). But the wind is just cross-on or onshore, so it’s going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. Not ideal for a point break like Desert Point, which needs clean conditions to really shine. If you’re an expert paddler and don’t mind the wind, there’s some power there, but it’s not the gem.
Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so on that Tuesday morning the 4th, get in early for the glass. Water temp is about average for the time of year at 69°F, nothing weird.
Stay stoked.

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.
