The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Let's get into it. This is Rusty, and we're looking at the next 16 days for Desert Point. It's a classic point break, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag lately.
The water's sitting right around 70°, which is totally normal for this time of year.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, August 27th in the morning. We've got a tiny 1ft swell from the NNW, but the real story is the wind. It's dead calm, glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is weak, only 30, but it's about the cleanest you'll see the line-up. It's not going to be big, but for a sneaky glassy session it's a true standout.
The real action, if you can call it that, starts building from Friday, August 28th through the weekend. The swell comes up from the 6ft to 7ft range, and the combined energy gets into moderate territory, peaking at 705. The problem is, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, which ruins the perfection of this point. The swell direction is NNW, which is not the optimum NW that Desert Point loves. On Saturday, August 29th, the swell hits 7ft with a 9-second period, and it's a bit of a mess. The energy is there (615), but the conditions are marginal. The Saturday afternoon glass-off might offer a window, but the onshore wind is a major concern.
The following week is a bit of a grind. From Monday, September 1st through Thursday, September 5th, the swell fluctuates between 4ft and 6ft, but the wind is predominantly cross-on or onshore. The only glimmers are on Thursday, September 3rd morning and Friday, September 4th morning, where we get another glassy window. The swell is small, around 4ft with weak energy (185), but the tide might be right for a few fun ones. The Saturday, September 6th morning sees a tiny 2ft glassy swell, but it's just too small.
The second week dries up. From the 7th to the 10th of September, the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on. The only potential is a glassy morning on Thursday, September 10th, with a 2ft swell, but it's a long shot. It's a tough run, and the forecast can change, but for now, the pick of the 16 days is that glassy morning on the 27th of August.
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.
