The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Desert Point.
We've got a bit of a wait on our hands, and it's not looking like a classic run for this spot. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, with a consistent cross-onshore or onshore flow from the west and northwest that’s going to mess up just about every session. The swell is there, but the wind is just wrong. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is happening on Thursday, August 27th. That morning, we're looking at glassy conditions. The swell is coming from the NNW at 6ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be a light glassy offshore from the WSW, and the combined wave energy is strong (446). That’s the one to circle. The rest of the week leading up to it is a mixed bag of poor conditions, with a few sessions on the 19th and 20th offering glassy mornings but with significantly smaller swell (3ft to 3ft). The 22nd through the 24th see a bit more size, but the wind is back on it.
So, honestly, for the next ten days, it's a waiting game. The wind is the enemy here. Keep your eye on that Thursday morning, August 27th. That’s the only true window where Desert Point (Indonesia) is going to be clean and worth the paddle. The rest is just frustrating.
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.
