The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks here for Desert Point. To be honest, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a whole lot of nothing happening for a good stretch. We’ve got a gap right at the start with no real surf on offer, but the first proper chance comes early in the week.
The standout window is shaping up for Tuesday, the 8th of September. That morning, we’re looking at clean conditions with glassy winds and a 3ft swell from the northwest. The swell period is a long 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate at 330. That longer period will mean better-shaped waves, but at a point break like Desert Point, it’s actually a bonus – those waves will wrap in nicely. The wind is absolutely dead calm, so it’ll be as clean as it gets. Keep in mind though, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so you’ll want to be early.
The next sniff of something decent comes on Friday the 11th of September. Again, a morning session with glassy winds and a 3ft swell from the same northwest direction, with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 297. It’s a smaller version of Tuesday, but still worth a paddle if you missed it.
After that, things get pretty ordinary. There’s a brief moment on the 13th of September where the combined energy is weak, at 74, and it’s glassy, but it’s only 2ft and short period – just a bit of a bump. Then we’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is small and weak. The combined energy stays in the two-digit range, often under 100, which is just weak wave energy. It’s not looking like a kite surfing session either, because the swell is just too small and the wind isn’t strong enough in the right direction for that.
The last tiny chance comes on the 20th of September, a Sunday morning, with a 5ft swell from the northwest. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, and the combined energy is moderate at 286. The wind is light and onshore, so it’s marginal. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it.
Overall, Tuesday the 8th is the one to circle. It’s the cleanest, best-shaped window we’ve got. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a bust.
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.
