Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about Desert Point.
To be straight with you, the next two and a half weeks are looking mostly flat and pretty ordinary for this break. The first solid call of surfable waves doesn't roll in until well into the second week, so we've got a pretty big gap ahead of us. From now until around the 17th of July, the waves are just too small to get excited about, or the conditions are messy. There are long stretches of *poor surf conditions* on the cards, and nothing worth paddling out for.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on the morning of Saturday, the 18th of July. The combined swell energy jumps to a moderate 214, with a NNW swell coming in at 4ft. It's not huge, but it's the best we've got. The wind swings light and glassy from the WNW early, so you might snag a few clean ones if you're on it. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, so don't expect any groundswell punch—it'll be a bit fat and weak. After the morning glass, the wind shifts onshore, so the window is tight. This spot is consistent and fairly exposed to the NW, which is what the guidance wants to see.
You'll be sharing the lineup as crowds are possible here sometimes, but with such ordinary surf on the menu, it might not be too hectic. Just keep in mind, water temperature is around 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Honestly, for a spot like Desert Point, this is a disappointing run. When the surf is this weak, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, but as things stand, there's no standout swell coming.

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.
