Express Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

We're looking at a solid run ahead for the region, with a few days of clean, punchy surf and a couple of real standout sessions. The forecast is built around Express Point, a consistent advanced point break that needs a solid SSW groundswell to light up.

First up, the opening days are a bit of a slow burn. Thursday the 6th gives us a small 3ft wave from the SW, but with a solid 12-second period and a moderate offshore wind, it's rideable. The combined energy is weak (277), so it's a knee-to-waist high session for the skilled crew. It picks up a touch on Friday the 7th, with a 4ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds. The wind goes glassy on Friday afternoon, making for a super clean, long-period wave. The energy is pushing into the moderate range (1195), so you'll feel the push. It's a solid Friday.

Saturday the 8th is a write-off for surfing. The swell is still there, but it's a mess of strong winds making for poor conditions. Skip it. Sunday the 9th is even worse with strong breezes and rain. Then we hit a massive gap. Monday the 10th brings a huge 12ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period. The energy is off the charts at 8510, but the file says it's too big for this break. That's a big wave day for experts only, and even then, the wind is strong. It's more of a spectacle than a session.

The real magic starts to build from the 12th. Wednesday the 12th has a 8ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-off and strong. It's not great. The standout for the whole period is Thursday the 13th. We get a clean 7ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, combined with a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is a strong 2325, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one. A long-period groundswell like this will be a dream at a point break like Express Point, with long walls and plenty of power. It's a weekday, so you might get a slightly quieter lineup, but this spot is known to be often crowded.

Friday the 14th is nearly as good, with a 8ft SW swell, 18-second period, and a moderate offshore wind. The energy is massive at 4547. This is another heavy day for the experts. The following days, from the 15th to the 17th, see the swell slowly dropping, but the quality holds. Saturday the 15th has a 6ft SW swell and clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 1809. It's a great option for the weekend if you can handle the size.

The second week gets quieter. By the 18th, we're back to 3ft waves with a glassy morning on the Tuesday, but the energy is low. The 20th brings another run of 7ft SW swell that looks promising for experts, but the wind is a bit sketchy. The 21st closes the window with a 8ft WSW swell and a clean offshore wind, another solid late-season option.

Overall, the best is the 13th and 14th. The 13th gets the nod for the cleanest winds and the most manageable size for the expert crowd. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
