Express Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We've got a solid run of surf coming up, but it's a bit of a slow burn at the start. There's a gap of a few days with no real recommendations before the good stuff rolls in. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The standout is Express Point, a classic point break that loves a SSW swell. It's an advanced wave, so you need to be on your game, especially when it gets big.

We kick off on Friday the 31st of July with some clean, glassy conditions in the afternoon. The swell is a modest 4ft coming from the SW with a 12-second period, but the energy is moderate (391). It's a gentle start, but the wind is light and offshore, making for some clean, fun waves.

Saturday the 1st of August is where it starts to get interesting. The morning is small at 2ft, but the afternoon brings a much better 4ft SW swell with a long 18-second period. The combined energy jumps right up to 1151, and with a light offshore NW breeze, it's going to be clean and lined up. That's a solid session.

Sunday the 2nd is a mixed bag. The swell is there, 5ft in the morning, but a strong cross-offshore wind messes with the quality. The energy is still strong (1137), but the wind is just too fresh to make it perfect.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are a bit of a write-off with strong onshore winds and poor conditions. The swell is still around, but you'd be fighting a losing battle.

We get a reprieve on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th. The swell drops to 2ft but the period is very long, over 19 seconds. The energy is moderate (543-570). The wind is light and offshore, making for some clean, glassy waves, but you'll be waiting for the sets.

Friday the 7th of August is back on. The morning brings a 4ft SW swell, a 15-second period, and a light offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (725), and the forecast is very good. Get on it.

The next few days, Saturday the 8th through Monday the 10th, are a mix of clean conditions and strong winds, with the swell hovering around 3ft to 5ft. The energy is moderate to strong (317-2026). The wind is the main issue, often cross-offshore.

Now, for the real highlight. Tuesday the 11th of August. We're looking at a 10ft SW swell in the morning, with a 16-second period and a massive energy reading of 4175. That's very strong. The wind is fresh offshore from the NW. This is big, powerful, and clean. It's an expert-only wave at this size. The afternoon eases slightly to 8ft, still excellent for experienced surfers.

And then, the absolute best on offer. Thursday the 13th of August. The morning is glassy, with a 7ft SW swell, a 20-second period, and a staggering energy of 4095. The wind is calm. This is a dream scenario. The afternoon is just as good, with 7ft swells, a 19-second period, and glassy conditions. Perfect. This is the one to circle. Friday the 14th stays excellent with a 7ft SW swell and a 18-second period, though the wind is cross-offshore.

Saturday the 15th of August closes out the run with a clean 5ft SW swell and a gentle offshore wind. The energy is 1180. A very solid end to the forecast.

Stay safe, and I'll see you in the water.

Rusty.
